Mary was a 39 year old woman, divorced with a 9 year old boy and a 16 year old daughter.

She had advanced breast carcinoma and required several hospital admissions, but insisted on returning home.

Because of Mary's request, and with minimal preparation, the ward staff and the hospital palliative care team arranged for her to be discharged home urgently.

She died peacefully at home a few days later.
