Ashamed: I think about (and plan for) dying. Do you?

I’m totally new here and with my 4th cancer being lung and I’m not going to take any treatments as I think I would prefer to enjoy what I can for as long as I can while I’m reasonably healthy. I would imagine that it is a normal thing to think about death constantly for me at this time. I don’t have much but have picked up a do it yourself will (that’s 7 pages).. I find that I don’t get a whole lot of info and am just going to make another appt with my GP to get more explanation on my situation. If I may ask where is your cancer and if it only in one place?

@soupycampbell, I agree that a visit with your GP is a good place to start. Having all of the info related to what you are facing can give you great power. I respect that you have the power to make these decisions and have some control over what the remainder of your life will look like. That’s very brave.
People often talk about the strength of people that fight until the end, and ‘never give up’. I believe that knowing when to be at peace takes so much more strength! I wish you the very best.
I have stage IV lung cancer with metastasis to the liver. It is very much under control right now, but my type of cancer is incurable. I’m 52, and my current treatments are a breeze compared to some. So for now, I’ve chosen to live each day! That’s brought me a great feeling of freedom and peace. For now at least!, take care, Lisa
