I recently had an appointment with palliative care because my anastrozole insomnia wasn't being addressed and actually being ignored by my oncology team. I thought palliative was only for severe cases or end of life that's NOT true! Within 10 minutes I had a script for trazadone for sleep! It's ridiculous that I've suffered this long and been ignored! They are literally there to help us when oncology is failing us!
