A few highlights from the show:

\n

1. Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is a form for people with life-limiting illnesses who frequently require emergency medical care. https://polst.org/

\n

2. DNR or do not resuscitate is an important part of the form. It is only valid in a hospital setting. If you are having surgery, ask your surgeon if a DNR will be reinforced during surgery.

\n

3. Full estate planning is important even if you believe that you don't have much to leave behind.

\n

4. Anyone can get Advance Directive forms off the internet for free and they can be changed at any time. Typically two witnesses or notary public are required in order for it to be valid.

\n

5. Regret is a wasted emotion. Learn from what has happened and grow.

About Me:

\n

In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues.

\n

Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today.

\n

As a Cancer Doula, I use my 10-years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal health care advocate.
