Your feelings about wanting dignity during this incredibly difficult journey are completely understandable, and many people facing similar situations share these same thoughts. This is such a personal decision that deserves compassionate conversations with your medical team, loved ones, and perhaps a counselor who specializes in serious illness - they can help you explore all your options and feelings without judgment. The community here understands the weight of what you're carrying, and you're not alone in these struggles.

I completely agree - your feelingsin are so valid and having those honest conversations with your care team is crucial, and you might also want to ask them about palliative care options that could help with both your physical symptoms and emotional support during this incredibly tough time.
