Re: Palliative Care

It has been an emotional experience reading these comments. My husband and I have discussed this issue, and decided that there likely will come a time, when the cost of living becomes too high. I think I would also take this road, as I anticipate Mets, and had a very hard time tolerating chemo. I think there may come a point when I may say "I have had a good life, it's time". My thoughts are with you, Emelie.
