Morning,
My friends mum has just been diagnosed with brain cancer. They have also found it in her lungs and lymphs. She is totally aware that there's nothing much they can do to cure the brain tumour due to its location but they haven't even mentioned palliative care. Although she hasn't had many symptoms yet except a few words she forgot... She thought she was suffering form dementia at first, she understands that the effects the tumour will have as it increases in size. The specialist has been very dismissive and just said there's not treatment that can be offered and left it at that.
Should she have had palliative care discussed at her consultations?
My fiend is at a loss and doesn't understand why.
Pls can you offer some help?
