Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices. These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.

Management of Indolent vs Aggressive Progression

Hello,

I want to share this video, Cancer Growth Rate and Managing Slow-Growing Lung Cancers.  A lot has changed in treatment and management in the last 8 years but here's one thing that still needs to be considered. 

When someone's cancer progresses how aggressively should its management be?  Often it depends on how relatively fast or slow or how widespread the progression is. 

 

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.
