This document discusses the importance of having conversations about end-of-life healthcare decisions, especially for those diagnosed with mesothelioma. It recommends discussing advance directives like living wills, healthcare surrogates, Do Not Resuscitate orders, and anatomical donations. Having these conversations gives patients a chance to make their wishes known and provide comfort and permission to loved ones. Common fears at end-of-life are addressed, such as being a burden. While difficult, these discussions can eliminate uncertainty and ensure patients' values and preferences are honored.
