Hi @ld57feast, thanks for joining this discussion. I see from your past messages in the sarcoma discussion that you have stage 4 chondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that affects the bones and joints. You write "comfortable and happy" -- which are encouraging words to read. Comfort isn't always easy to find in body and spirit, but it is obvious that you strive for this despite the health challenges. Do you have a palliative care team and good pain control?

Great care team of hospice, friends and animals. Not a lot of pain. More oxygen deprivation and heart stress right now. Read a lot of positive books and watch pxyl tv a faith and joy channel no commercials and always a happy ending even in the face of diversity. Only hard part is when my husband drinks and tells me how worthless I am. He does so good when he is sober. This crushes me and unfortunately he is yelling at me now. Any advice on how to deal with this when I cannot move from my chair. Sad tonight.
