Palliative care is often misunderstood. Many assume it’s only for the end of life, but it’s really about improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and helping you live as fully and comfortably as possible at any stage of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In this episode, we talk with Dr. Jones, a palliative care physician who brings both medical expertise and deep compassion for the MBC community, and we cover what palliative care actually is, how to access it, and why integrating it early can make a meaningful difference

This month we have focused on quality-of-life issues and this episode is part one of a two part series on the “Magic of Palliative Care”. At times the term “palliative care” is misunderstood and so we also use the newer term ‘supportive care’ to better explain how this care supports your quality of life as you go through MBC treatment. We first turn our focus to the medical providers who help us manage symptoms and treatment side effects and, by doing so, improve multiple aspects of our lives.
