Throughout my life, I remember hearing about Palliative Care in hushed tones…..
When the lovely registrar arrived at my hospital bed to declare they were moving me to Palliative Care, I practically jumped and vomited from the fear and shock.
Not everyone who attends their hospice as a patient dies from their disease but many do.
Palliative Care is not just for end of life it can also bring quality of life, pain relief and research shows that engaging in it sooner rather than later can extend life. I am doing all that I can do to lengthen mine.
