@kjoed53 "I guess I need to have this conversation with my cardiologist and oncologist because I have more questions than answers." Good for you! Having questions is a good thing. and wanting answers is a good thing. And understanding that life circumstances can change is a definitely a good thing! Exploring our options and accommodating changes shows you are aware of things. What was important 5 years ago can certainly change. Something for all of us to bear in mind!

@gingerw
Cogito ergo sum. Medicine is continuously changing too, so even if you have a DNR in place, it needs to be reviewed with your doctor periodically to assure that it doesn't require revision. As an example, if something was to replace the current CPR procedure, it might be more acceptable.
