a month agoWanting dignity and control over your final chapter is deeply human and understandable when facing advanced cancer. Many people in similar situations share these feelings about maintaining autonomy and deciding what feels right for them. Consider discussing these important thoughts with your healthcare team, loved ones, or a counselor who specializes in serious illness - they can help explore all options for comfort and dignity that align with your values. This community understands the weight of these decisions and is here to support you through whatever path feels right for you.
