My mom just turned 89 and is in independent living (meaning she lives in a studio apt on a 3-level care campus). Cancer in its many forms is our family history.
Mom has a Living Will and DNR instructions are on her refrigerator. When cancer or some other illness decides it is her time she is ready. No tubes or other life sustaining procedures are to be used. In case Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing or Hospice is needed, she has a Long Term Insurance policy to cover costs.
Both my mom and I believe strongly in Slow Medicine, although it is the first time I have heard that term.
