Objectives and disclosures
• Disclosures are not financial
• No scientific data (not an interpretation of palliative care data)
• This represents my perspective on the journey families undertake in the setting of advanced cancer
• Stimulate questions by presenting my view of the landscape

Julia is a 4 year old girl from Athlone. She lives at home with her Mum and Dad and 1 year old brother Adam. Mum is 32 weeks pregnant. Dad is a soldier based in the barracks and Mum does accounts for her Dad who is a farmer. They are very happy.
Julia has had a fever for a few days. She is irritable and parents notice she is developing a lot of bruising. The GP diagnoses her with a viral illness. 2 days later she is worse and her parents are very worried. She is pale, lethargic and refuses to weight bear. Her tummy is distended and sore. She is referred to her local ED in Ballinasloe.

In hospital the junior doctor notes that she is extremely pale, has bruising around her eyes, a palpable, hard abdominal mass and is very distressed by hip pain.
Julia is given pain relief, IV fluids and has bloods taken. She also has a urine test and an ultrasound.
2 hours after arriving in hospital, 5 days after being at a friend’s birthday party, a paediatrician tells Julia’s parents that she has life-threatening metastatic cancer called neuroblastoma and she needs to be transferred to Crumlin for treatment.

Paediatric : Adult oncology
“Not just small adults, they are a different species”
• Different responses to chemotherapy• Different tolerance to treatment• Paediatric oncologist treats 40 new children/year• Medical oncologist treats hundreds of new adults/year
(500-800?)• Paediatric patient has a guardian who must make decisions• Adult patient generally makes decisions themselves

Julia’s story
At the end of treatment, Julia’s scans show that she has new skeletal metastases. Despite this she is very well.
2 years after finishing treatment Julia presents with fevers, pallor and bone pain. Scans reveal that she has disseminated neuroblastoma.
4 years after finishing treatment Julia fractures her wrist. Imaging suggest this is a pathological fracture

Palliative care
The WHO defines palliative care (PC) as “an approach that improves the quality-of-life (QOL) of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of an early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual.”

Challenges (for me)
• When should we refer to palliative and home care teams?(refer not just mention)
