I have been trying to stay out of political and I admit that I speed read the above so my post may not be on topic.

The discussion about your plans for end of life is a routine thing that has been going on for a long time in medical offices. Nothing new...at least in Ohio. I don't know if this sort of thing has been different in different areas of our country.

They ask this as an intake question when you visit our oncologist for the first time in Ohio.

Helene answered this question 15 years ago when she was diagnosed with cancer and I discussed it five years ago. Our regular GP asked this of both Sweetie and I a couple of years ago.

When you think about it, it is good to think what you might do if you were unable to speak and in terrible pain.

You don't have to answer this question.

It is something none of us can avoid, death. None of us are getting out of here alive.
