As the End Nears: Dying With Metastatic Cancer

Join us for the conversation As the End Nears: Dying With Metastatic Cancer. Dr. Christina Yeon, hematologist and medical oncologist with City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, will discuss late-stage cancer and explore what to expect at the end of life.

Wow!! I didn’t expect to see you here but it was nice to see a familiar face. I had Dr. Yeon as my oncologist at City of Hope as my replacement oncologist after my initial oncologist went to a different hospital. As soon as I felt comfortable with Dr. yeon, she went back to her Pasadena office. So again in my unpredictable journey of invasive lobular cancer stage 3-4. I’m having to repeat, relearn, revisit, just a do over of all that I’ve been through with yet another oncologist. I’m trying but it’s been difficult to find bright side since I’ve had so many abandonment throughout

Thank you so much for posting this video. I learned SO MUCH. I am going to complete a MOLST form before my next doctor's visit.

My mom starts palliative care Tuesday one round of chemo a week and hormone therapy hope it helps she is very anemic and weak oncologist feels benefits will put weight side effects just want her to see me graduate from nursing school

Palliative Care has great benefits at any stage of disease. Example: Many Palliative Care Departments have social workers on staff who can provide additional support and community resources
Palliative Care never needs to “take the back seat,” as Dr Yeon suggests.🌺

These two are highly irritating. Pah-lee-ative treatment and care is about increasing the quality of your life, however much you have left. That's it.
