END OF LIFE PLANNING
When diagnosed with terminal cancer we have to make some hard decisions, and it is important to make sure that loved ones know what these decisions are.
Based on our experience in Mallorca and with different patients we have elaborated an End Of Life document. This will help you and your family, guiding you through some of the tougher decisions and helping you put these in writing for future reference.
You can download the document below.
We have also recently had a book published called My Last Wishes, that will help you record all the details that your loved ones will need. This book is available for free to all CSG patients.
EOL- Plan Ahead
And remember to check out our Wellness offers aimed at helping you relax and feel better in yourself, these include massages, yoga, micro blading your eyebrows if you are going to have chemo and many other offers.
Those in the local community have offered these to our members as they realise that small things like this can make a big difference, so please don't hesitate to book your slot.
