pallative care, what does it mean exactly pls

2011-04-30T23:16:37Z

hi all. hope you can help me, my lovely best friend has a rare sarcome cancer in her stomach and we have now found out it hasnt responded to chemo, it has grown.

it has grown rapidly over 2 months so the chemo has been stopped, she's on 2 hourly morphine and cannot face eating, extremely tired, on oxygen but trying to be chatty when we visit.

i got to the hospital today and her daughters were saying someone had been in to chat to them about pallative care and how to prepare for her dying, I didnt want to ask what it meant or how long she has left as didnt want to upset them or myself

so can someone please tell me does pallative care mean the end is imminent, as if so i would like to spend more time with her just holding her hand and letting her know how loved she is.

also would it be best for her to know or let her think she has a life ahead of her

please hope there's an answer from some one thank you
