Other areas that need your support

 

             General Research including:

                        

Investigation of dyspnea (breathlessness) in the terminally ill, which afflicts a majority of dying patients, particularly if they are dying from heart or lung disease.  This is a frightening symptom that leaves the patient with a feeling of suffocation.  Less is known about how to treat breathlessness compared to what is known about treating pain.  Studies are needed to improve terminal illness care for patients who are breathless.
