I don't know if you can call this beating it. But the doctor called it palliative care. I guess that means I'll stay alive for some time before I finally succumb

Palliative care can feel overwhelming to process, but it's actually a specialized approach focused on improving quality of life and managing symptoms while still allowing for active treatment when appropriate. Many people in this community have navigated similar feelings about treatment changes, and sharing experiences here can provide valuable perspective and emotional support during this challenging time.

I say yes! Let’s claim you have beat this. There are a lot of misconceptions about palliative care so we wrote a blog post to help explain.
