As my prognosis/treatment has gone from curative to palliative, I am back on the "Is this worth it" phase.
5 Grandchildren is all I have and all I need to keep me from acting on thoughts.

@briang1958 Totally get the despair from the change of curative to palliative. But please bear in mind that palliative can be MANY YEARS.
We never think of being on palliative care when we take our pills for heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, but that is exactly what it is; none of those diseases can be cured either!
I’ve had surgery and SRT; I will NEVER consider myself to be cured in any way.
When the next shoe drops, I’ll have to take the next palliative steps to keep me above ground.
We’re all just playing for time, so the time we have right now is the most important.
Just hang in there - and maybe get a punching bag to vent some of your emotions!🥊🥊
Best,
Phil
