Anyone chosen palliative care? What are the last months/weeks like?

If I wrote infection injection, I apologize. My mother had an infected gallbladder caused by a back-up from a failed biliary stent. When they went to try and drain it, they accidentally released several types of infection into her system and they could not control it. That is what ended up killing her.

My aunt is going through the pancreatic journey now. She is on chemo prior to hopefully the whipple surgery if she is strong enough. She had a backup in her stent, was admitted to the hospital, and developed a bacterial infection into her blood. She is still in the hospital but luckily with days of an antibiotic medicines, it’s appears to be under control. So was very sick from this but we’re hopeful she’s better and can continue her chemo soon. Without the stent replacement, then she would not have made it.
