I am sorry and sad about your sister’s experience. Also for your tragic loss. My 45 year old only daughter has anaplastic cancer and has been working with Mayo. Was she ever offered palliative care? We have found that to be extremely helpful. Again my heartfelt sympathy.

Thanks for your comments and concern. She was physically pretty healthy, albeit some side effects from having thyroid removed. I believe it was the incurable nature of her cancer that caused her to start having depression symptoms right away. I’m trying to learn more about how much attention is paid to a cancer patient’s state of mind. Appreciate any reference you can provide.
