“I know all too well that many individuals fall in the gap between disease treatment and end-of-life needs … People are living better, longer with chronic disease and even terminal disease. With my mother, it was a year. And so, who knows what can happen in a year?” Rosen said. “And that choice between saying, well, I have to give up [curative treatment], that can be frightening to families.
