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).
îe goals of palliative care are to improve the quality of a seriously ill personâs life and to support that person and their family during and after treatment. Hospice focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting patients with a life expectancy of months not years, and their families.
