Hi ShellyBorchardt - I am 81 yo & sounds familiar. I, myself, have also placedimits on type of treatment that I want to or choose to endure. The Palliative Care Team associated with the treatment facilty is another support resource for sorting things out and referrals if needed ❤️ 🫠https://www.mymyelomateam.com/resources/palliat...
