I was first diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer in May 2005. I have been on and off Chemo from that first diadnosis. Nothing has worked and I was placed on Comfort Care in July. I just wanted to know if anyone else is on Comfort Care?

comfort care is a term used in the medical community. (I worked as an RN for 12 years on a skilled nursing unit). It is similar to what hospice would do. The goal is to maintain the highest level of comfort while the patient is in their last stage of life :-(0
