Palliative medicine is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. Palliative or supportive care is focused on relieving the symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life. Many bone marrow failure disease patients receive palliative or supportive care throughout their treatment journey and Dr. Downer will discuss some of the best practices for our patients, family members, and caregivers. During this session, you'll learn about palliative or supportive care services that help other bone marrow failure disease patients and how this care can make you feel better and improve your quality of life.
