What should i know about palliative care during chronic illness?

More support: It depends on your situation, but i would assume/hope that the palliative care you receive would support you physically and emotionally in the best way possible. You should know that you are still the "ceo" of your healthcare, and that you should still be able to make your own decisions. You should also investigate mind-body therapies in your area, for pain relief and overall well being.

Terminal care: Palliative care is provided for somebody who has a life-threatening disease for which there is no cure and that may cause death but it is not clear when.
