Palliative Care and Symptom Management
Palliative Care and Symptom Management
Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals living with cancer, particularly when facing serious or advanced stages of the illness. It addresses physical, emotional, and psychological needs. The goal is for patients to receive holistic support throughout their journey, regardless of the treatment stage.
However, this form of care is not limited to end-stage disease. It begins early in the treatment process and works alongside active treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation. By managing pain and other distressing symptoms, palliative care helps patients retain their dignity and comfort.
Key Services Offered:
-
Pain and Symptom Control: Focused strategies to manage chronic pain, fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, loss of appetite, and insomnia.
-
Emotional and Psychological Support: Trained counsellors help patients and families cope with anxiety, depression, and fear associated with diagnosis and progression.
-
Nutritional Guidance: Tailored dietary plans that account for treatment side effects, taste changes, and digestive health.
-
Rehabilitation Support: Physical and occupational therapy designed to improve mobility, independence, and daily activity levels.
-
Spiritual Care: Respect for diverse spiritual beliefs and practices that provide emotional peace and meaning during treatment.
-
Care Coordination: Liaison between oncologists, nurses, counsellors, and family caregivers for integrated care delivery.
End-of-life care in Mysuru is a critical part of the palliative service spectrum. It includes hospice care, pain relief, psychological counselling, and support for families during and after bereavement. The goal is to provide comfort, respect the patient’s wishes, and maintain dignity in the final stages of life.
We also emphasise supportive oncology care, which runs parallel to medical treatment. This approach ensures that even as the cancer is being managed, the patient’s mental health, physical wellness, and daily functioning are never overlooked.
