In Vietnamese: Chăm sóc giảm nhẹ Treatment
🔴 This is the most misunderstood term in medicine. Palliative care does NOT mean stopping treatment and is NOT only for the end of life.
It can run alongside active treatment from the very start, and often helps people tolerate their treatment better.
Asking about it early is to your advantage — do not wait to be offered it.

Often confused with: End-of-life care — one small part of palliative care, not the whole of it.
