With terminal illness , my focus is on living rather than surviving. I don't want to spend my limited time on earth feeling so unwell that I can't enjoy my life. I'm in a “good “ place right now where the symptoms are tolerable …. but I know there may come a time when having extra time is not worth it anymore. And that's ok. It's not giving up. It's not losing a fight. It's making a choice to prioritise quality of life which, in my eyes, shows great strength to leave with dignity.
