Any experience with palliative care during chronic illness?

Pallitative care is care which will make your feel comfortable, but will not affect the course of your disease. It is not intended to cure or even mediate illness, but just alleviate pain and help the patient's quality of life. It may include therapies that actually have the opposite effect of prolonging life.
