When Should My Loved One Consider Hospice Care for Cancer Patients?

Hospice and palliative care are options worth considering when:

• Cancer symptoms become increasingly difficult to manage;

• The effectiveness of treatments begins to wane;

• Hospital visits become more frequent and prolonged;

• The patient expresses concerns about the burden on their family.
