    Coping with serious illness

    Palliative care

    Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with a serious illness. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage, and it can be combined with curative treatment.

    Hospice

    Colorectal cancer patients may use hospice care for end-of-life support, focusing on comfort rather than curative treatment. 

    I felt like I was on the edge of a cliff about to fall over when Stephanie, a patient navigator, helped to calm me down. She pointed me toward life-altering resources that gave me hope that things wouldn’t always be this way.
