A common misunderstanding
Many people think palliative care means 'giving up'. It does not. Palliative care runs alongside active treatment for many patients, focusing on symptoms, quality of life, and support for the family.
What palliative care includes
Depending on what you need, palliative care may involve:
- Pain and symptom management
- Support for nausea, fatigue and breathlessness
- Emotional and psychological support
- Help planning ahead, at your pace
- Coordination with home-care providers
