Advances in science and healthcare have allowed people with life-limiting chronic illnesses to live longer and healthier lives. Yet, outcomes of treatment are often uncertain. People often live with the possibility of their illness reoccurring and progressing.
Our research has focused on experiences of living with a life-limiting illness. Over a series of multiple interviews, we met with patients and families living with HIV, cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic lung disease, or heart failure. The researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of Alberta extend our appreciation to the participants who have shared their stories.
