Cancer treatment can have various effects on patients and their families. While treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery aim to eliminate or control cancer, they can also cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and changes in appetite. These physical challenges can impact the patient’s quality of life and emotional well-being. Palliative care, on the other hand, focuses on providing relief from symptoms and improving the overall comfort of patients with advanced cancer. It addresses pain management, emotional support, and helps patients and their families navigate end-of-life decisions.
