“I think part of just the way we're raised or our society is like, oh, well, at least we tried everything we could. I think it's that old adage of, well, we tried everything. Well, sometimes it's not about that. It's not about trying all the medications till you've basically just worn your body out. It's about maybe giving yourself the last few months to just kind of enjoy your life. Where you can enjoy your food, your friends, go to the beach, go see a show. Isn't that how you'd want to remember living?”
Judy Dubko is a Physician Assistant in Hematology/Oncology.
In this podcast episode, Judy shares about her experience working in hematology/oncology and facing death from a medical perspective. She raises the important point that sometimes letting go is a more graceful and compassionate choice than exhausting every treatment option to extend life, particularly when it comes to the cost of quality of life.
