Not a subject any of us want to hear but, I kept asking the hospital, lung cancer specialist nurses whether my husband was at end of life care & was continually told that he was nowhere near that. What is the criteria?

Hello KT22,
Sometimes if is not always clear the difference between palliative care and end-of-life treatment, below I have added a link to the Marie Curie page, this explains these terms and what you can expect from this type of care.

If you would like some more information email us at lungcancerhelp@rocyastle.org or call our freephone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200
Kind regards
