Presenter @jonnieirwin was diagnosed with terminal cancer almost 3 years ago. He's joined by @DrRanj to talk about palliative care.
Jonnie talks about how it has helped him, his experiences and that hospice care isn't just for end of life but can be for weeks, months or years.

Hook - Palliative care is not about giving up on life. It's about living life to the fullest until the very end. Let's break down some common misconceptions about palliative care. 🧵👇
1/ Misconception: Palliative care is only for the dying.
Reality: Regardless of life expectancy, palliative care can help anyone with a serious illness. It focuses on improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and providing emotional support.
2/ Misconception: Palliative care means stopping all other treatments.
Reality: Palliative care can be given alongside curative treatments. It's about providing holistic care that addresses all aspects of a patient's well-being, including physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
3/ Misconception: Palliative care is only for the elderly.
Reality: Palliative care is for anyone with a serious illness, regardless of age. It can be helpful for young adults, children, and anyone facing a life-limiting illness.
4/ Misconception: Palliative care is depressing.
Reality: Palliative care can actually improve a patient's mood and overall well-being. It provides support and comfort during difficult times and helps patients live life as fully as possible.
Let's spread the word about the importance of palliative care and bust these myths. 💪

We assess and set/review realistic goals. We provide proactive care, with the aim of preventing crisis. We encourage rehabilitation, promote independence & self-worth, have sessions to help you manage symptoms rather than the symptoms controlling you. #livingwell 2 of 3 @WellJeh
