Quality of Life and End of Life Care
Betty Jo is a 52-year-old diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She
is widowed, no children with only her mother and father living in
the area. She has received three rounds of chemotherapy and 15
radiation treatments. Tumors had shrunk by 50% and surgery was
scheduled to remove her ovaries. Once removed exploratory
laparaotomy was done to ensure no spread but additional tumors were
found in 9 of 10 lymph nodes which were not resectable. Two days
postoperative Betty Jo was told there was nothing further that
could be done to remove the cancer. She made a Do Not Resuscitate
order and was placed on palliative care until she could be
discharged. Betty Jo spent an additional four days in house and was
transported to hospice with oxygen. Betty Jo died five days after
returning home. Discuss these areas listed for this topic using
