Nodules in the lungs are normally discovered by accident. However, if you have lung cancer, chances are that you will also have lung nodules. Those who are exposed to asbestos on a regular basis, face a greater risk of developing lung cancer.
Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to specialised medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a serious illnessâwhatever the diagnosis.t is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment. Physicians sometimes use the term palliative care in a sense meaning palliative therapies without curative intent, when no cure can be expected (as often happens in late-stage cancers).
Palliative care (pronounced pal-lee-uh-tiv) is the medical specialty focused on relief of the pain, stress and other debilitating symptoms of serious illness. Palliative care is not dependent on prognosis and can be delivered at the same time as treatment that is meant to cure you. The goal is to relieve suffering and provide the best possible quality of life for patients and their families. Palliative care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Patients have a range of diseases and respond differently to treatment options.
