Amen @ramsedhom! We need to be more PROactive instead of REactive! I love this cartoon from: Palliative Care Is the Umbrella, Not the Rain—A Metaphor to Guide Conversations in Advanced Cancer @ZimmTeamLab & @JeanJMathews #LCSM @lpetrillz
As oncologists, if we had a therapy that improved QOL, symptoms, mood, coping and caregiver distress, & has never been shown to cause harm… We’d make sure we have available for all of our patients That’s what integration of palliative care offers our patients
