A decade ago, a team of researchers showed clearly that a new treatment for advanced lung cancer significantly improved patients’ quality of life, reduced symptoms of depression, lowered the likelihood of being admitted to the hospital for a complication of their disease, and improved survival. Subsequent research has found similar beneficial effects in other cancers and diseases.

I cannot get palliative care in Florida even though I qualify. They all say I have to be dying within 6 months, but that is hospice. My Pain from Klippel Feil Syndrome, Scoliosis, Spina Bifida Occulta, Syringomyelia. Small fiber neuropathy, osteophytes pressing on spinal cord and esophagus, bone spurs in bones all over my body, Ankylosing Spondylitis. I have been a patient ignored for 38 years with these diseases and not one doctor diagnosed them! I had to be in a car accident for them to be reviled. since then I have been told that none of these diseases cause organ damage, pain, nerve damage, and so on…A syndrome causes multiple other health issues. Please help me! I have no where else to turn.
