Dying in the curative system: the haematology/oncology dilemma. Part 2.

Full Abstract

It is now beginning to be understood that a particularly problematic area in oncology in relation to palliative care is that of haematology. Family members and carers who have experienced the institutional deaths of loved ones speak of their experiences with concern indicating a dire need for changes to present practice. Recommendations arising from this comparative research are included.
