Anyone, at any age, with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care. Early in the illness, palliative specialists can help define your treatment goals so the entire medical team is aware of your wishes. Palliative care can also help manage difficult to control symptoms (i.e. pain, shortness of breath, nausea, depression, etc) to improve quality of life.
