I hope there's no one here who would criticise your choice. It's not mine now (stage 4b prostate cancer) because I'm young-ish (late 50s), I'm tolerating treatments well, and they're working, but I can imagine a time and situation where my choice would be different.

Best wishes for comfort and joy.

Thank you so much for your posts - they are incredibly helpful and inspirational. I am currently in remission at 61 years of age from stage 4 appendix cancer. It was hard getting to this point and I don’t regret those aggressive treatments at all. I’ve got off surprisingly lightly. However, I am well aware that my cancer is likely to come back. It’s very helpful to read about these choices.

I know there will be a time where quality of life will be my overriding priority in my choices. It’s helpful to see what options are available to make those choices.

Thank you and wishing everyone all the best in their choices 🙏

I too have chosen Palliative Care instead of surgery / treatments.
Praying for you and ALL of us going through down this unforgiving road.
