Hi all,
Charlotte from Leukaemia Care here. I'm doing a bit of research on palliative care and I was surprised at what I found (I won't explain why as it may spoil the point of this question!)
So I'm curious. Without googling or looking it up in any other way, would you all mind telling me what do you think palliative care is? And at what stage of a cancer journey would you expect to have a conversation about palliative care, if at all?
Thanks.
Hiya, from experience with my mums cancer and now my dads it’s basically end of life care. This can be arranged at the beginning of diagnosis where nurses can come into the home and visit. They can arrange future medication and care, 24 hour care at a certain stage and equipment etc and also they can visit the patient for a chat and update. Sometimes nice to see a different face and chat and support the family .
