Solutions in palliative care
Patients may start palliative care at any stage of cancer more so as soon as they receive a diagnosis and begin treatment. You don't have to wait until your disease has reached an advanced stage or when you're in the final months of life. In fact, the earlier you start palliative care, the better it is to improve your quality of life.
The success of palliative care
Most cancer patients are at the most vulnerable stage of their life. Palliative care helps them manage depression, anxiety and fear.
