Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Care at the Close of Life: Evidence and Experience AB - Ms C, a young woman from Central America who spoke only Spanish, initially presented during her 34th week of pregnancy with marked leukocytosis and was diagnosed as having leukemia. After giving birth to a healthy, full-term daughter, she achieved remission with chemotherapy. However, 6 months later, a bone marrow biopsy revealed a relapse. Ms C was transferred to a university hospital, where she was treated with a second round of chemotherapy. A month later, a bone marrow biopsy revealed persistent disease. In discussions with Ms C and her partner, Mr M (the infant's father), the attending oncologist stated that there were no further curative treatment options.
