Dignitas

PS, Have you made an advance directive which is also called a living will?

It is quite a simple form to fill out. You keep a copy in your house to take to the hospital sister when you go there, another copy to your solicitor, and another copy to your GP.

FarawayGran I'm so sorry you feel terrified of what your illness might bring.
I hope you can find some good support and peace of mind x

FarawayGran I too feel for you, and I fear for my own choices when that time comes.
It could be worth looking at this compassionindying.org.uk/ They are the sister charity of Dignity in Dying (which campaigns for the right to choose) and offers a lot of help, info, advice etc. on planning for the end of life. Wishing you many more years free of pain xxx

Farawaygran I’ve no advice to offer but am sending thoughts to you.

Thinking of you. I echo what others have said Have you been able to explore other sources of support eg hospice care? A district nurse may have options that you are unaware of. Have you friends and family around you or are you alone? There is obviously a groundswell of support and care for you here. Please keep posting. My best wishes to you.
