Once you get a terminal diagnosis (and being alive is a terminal diagnosis), not only will you be struggling to adapt to your new reality, you also need to make series of really tough decisions, sometimes with very limited information. Do you take the treatment that might extend your life but has some nasty side effects? What live saving measures to you want, and which ones don't you want? If you need a tracheotomy to breath, would you do it? We dive into these questions and more with guests Mara and Kathy in this episode of Death is for the Dying.
