De fout zit hem in "you don't get sicker". Dat is eenvoudigweg niet waar. Je wordt wel zieker maar zal je minder oncomfortabel voelen omdat de behandeling zich richt op kwaliteit van leven. Als pallatieve patienten niet sicker zouden worden, zouden ze blijven leven. En dat is gewoon niet zo Je omschrijving is nog steeds niet goed hoor. De fout zit hem in “you don’t get sicker”.

People receiving palliative care can no longer be cured. They receive for example radiation therapy to reduce the size of the tumor, not in the hope that the patient will be cured but to relieve for example the pain resullting from it. Anyway, I think we understand each other. SLowing the disease is not curing the disease. People receiving palliative care can no longer be cured.

If you only concentrate on symptoms, as you describe, then it would be a Symptomatic cure. Erik:
