Make Your Wishes Known

It’s National Healthcare Decisions Day- a day when we take a moment to let our loved ones know where we stand on end of life care. Take away all the confusion and the questions about how you want your life to end. Learn how to make an advanced directive and learn how to talk to about your decisions with your loved ones. At the end of the day when you can’t speak and decisions need to be made, wouldn’t you want your wishes carried out?

Visit www.livestrong.org/gethelp for practical end of life planning documents and www.nhdd.org for more information about making those important end of life decisions today.

    As a urologist who treats many patients with cancer (prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular), I cannot emphasize who important these directives are. Having clear, prospective discussions in the creation of these documents helps orient the mindset of the patient and family members.
