As Eckhart Tolle often says, you have a life. Everything else, your worries, all your experienced sufferings are simply your life's situation. 

How we see our life and our situation can color how we live and experience life. It is sometimes hard to imagine that no matter what, we are the author of our own stories: As a palliative care physician and certified life coach, let me help remind you that if things can go wrong, they can also go right.

I wonder why is it that the oncologists are often the "Last Man" standing? When patients have no more options for life prolonging measures, they still want the final word to come from their oncologists and not their own free will. Dr. Gilcrease masterfully answers these difficult questions that we all struggle with. In...
