What do you suggest if my mother is suffering for multiple system atrophy. needs ventilator support now.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry: Am sorry that the disease has progressed so far, but MSA is very difficult to treat and no known cure has been found. I suggest ongoing palliative care, and working closely with hospice personnel if needed.
