February 4th is World Cancer Day, an annual day of awareness aimed at saving millions from preventable deaths each year, by educating the public about cancer and pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action against the disease. While the purpose of World Cancer Day is initially aimed at cancer awareness and prevention, Hospice Quinte would like to take this opportunity to discuss the role that hospice palliative care plays at the end of life for advanced cancer patients. Listen in to this week's Changing Lives Podcast to learn more.
