AbstractPalliative care provides holistic care to individuals in life-threatening or life-limiting conditions. This narrative describes the journey of Kanchan. A strong lady and a doting mother, she came to the hospital by choice, in immense pain and with swelling. Her narrative illustrates how the palliative approach draws out the inner strengths of individuals by focusing on their issues and needs. Kanchan was able to benefit from physiotherapy to reduce the risk of lymphoedema after surgery for breast cancer. Her narrative illustrates how she found comfort and relief, ably supported by the dedicated hospital team. Although a chance encounter led her to the hospital, her story emphasizes the need for greater awareness about palliative services to ensure early intervention.
