On Friday, May 30 2014, ABC NSW 7.30 aired this moving story about the last few days of Roseann Tenhuen’s life.

Just over two years ago Roseann was diagnosed with a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Four weeks ago the doctors told her that they had run out of treatment options — she needed to face up to the reality that within weeks her life would be over.

Roseann was told about the HammondCare Palliative Care Home Support program, and chose to die at home, rather than remain in hospital.
