It can be confronting to be told you or a loved one have months or weeks to live. If you’re struggling with the news, you might find it helpful to listen to the “Living with Dying” episode of The Thing About Advanced Cancer podcast. In this episode, Julie McCrossin talks with palliative care specialist Dr Megan Best about ways that people face the end of life, including decisions about stopping treatment, the role of spirituality, and identifying how they want to spend their remaining time. You will also hear insights from people affected by advanced cancer.
