Finding out that a loved one (or perhaps you yourself) have a life-limiting illness can be a frightening situation that raises many questions:
What will happen now? How will it affect my personal relationships? What decisions will I have to make regarding care? are all questions that you may ask yourself. You may also wonder who or what services are available to help you get through this difficult time.
There are no easy answers to these questions and there is no denying that the immediate future will be an emotionally-charged time for all concerned. So much may seem uncertain, and it may feel like the world will never be the same again.
To help patients and their families during this difficult time, your London Drugs pharmacists have prepared a booklet entitled What is Palliative Care? This helpful and sensitive booklet is available at your London Drugs pharmacy. We hope it will provide you with some comfort. If you have any questions that remain unanswered, please come to the pharmacy and talk to us. We want to help.
