...pump. Do you know wher I can buy it? If you have experience, could do you give me some band and estimate cost pls?

I would think it would be rented. The doctor's office would make a referral and a nurse would come out to see you and teach you on how to handle it. Depending on what insurance you have will determine the cost. Hospice would be so helpful at this time.

If your relative has less than 6 months to live (as prescribed by their doctor) then they would be eligible for Hospice. Hospice is free care provided in home. They provide drugs such as morphine to ease the suffering of the terminally ill. Again, it is all free. Talk to your relative's physician and they can provide the contact information for you.

Your relative's oncologist should handle all of that for you.

Call the nearest hospice and they will get it for you for free

Hospice will handle that for you at no charge.
