this is monolog name is Julia Morales and I recently turned 65. My life has not followed the norm. My parents instilled in me the importance of following one’s aspirations and remaining loyal to oneself. When I reflect on my 65 years on earth, I am pleased and proud of what I have accomplished, and I have no need for sympathy. Four years ago, when I discovered I had lung cancer, I was obviously devastated. But I battled valiantly. I followed the doctor’s instructions to the letter. I underwent both radiation and chemotherapy. I even received supplemental care from a naturopathic physician. It’s only that everyone knows it’s no longer effective. I am prepared to cease all treatment and simply let go. It is painful to breathe and to move. Everything is a pain. As previously said, I have no need for pity. I’ve had a fantastic life. I would have loved to stay a bit longer, but I am aware that this is not possible. Still, I believe my parents would be quite pleased with my accomplishments. They wed shortly after graduating from high school, and my father departed Ohio for the war. He left his mother and fought for two years in Europe. My father was a courageous individual; he landed on the Normandy beach and survived to tell the tale. While he was away, my mother worked hard in a factory, and when he returned, they had me, their only child. They were really helpful to me. Whatever my interests were, they supported. They wanted me to attend college to become a nurse or a teacher, but we did many vacations together, which is how I caught the travel bug. They saved money and supported me, so I went. But I never seriously considered becoming a nurse or a teacher. I instead earned a business degree and managed a small nursery. My parents were content because I was content. Then, when I was almost 50 years old, I grew weary of running the firm, so I sold it to a young couple and continued to work for them. I adored the location and the work. Still do. I’ve simply lacked the energy to work for the previous six months. I had several relationships throughout college and a brief marriage just after graduation. Neil, my son, is already 42 years old. But that did not endure. We divorced while Neil was little, and I raised him by myself. I speak with my ex-sporadically. I never remarried, whereas he did. I had a few romantic relationships and an abundance of pals. When Lucy moved in next door almost 20 years ago, I first met her. We’ve been together since since. We have traveled extensively over the previous two decades. She would have never gone if I hadn’t planned it, but she has liked it as much as I have We’ve traveled to Japan, Italy, Ireland, and the entire United States. She has a poor knee and has undergone surgery; I am concerned about her instability. We had to discontinue our lengthy journeys. I’ve been rather healthy up to this cancer, myself. I smoked for about a decade following graduation. Then I quit. We did not realize it was risky at the time. Nobody knew. I was shocked to be diagnosed with lung cancer. We initially believed I had pneumonia. However, the condition never improved, and a bronchoscopy revealed lung cancer. I underwent radiation therapy and chemotherapy. A portion of it required me to spend several days in the hospital, which nearly killed me. Never did like hospitals, ever. However, the treatment makes you so ill that you desire death. Unfortunately, it did not cure the cancer. We tried a couple treatments, but no others. Nothing positive resulted from it. I felt weak and ill, and the cancer progressed. In your responses to your peers’ posts, you may respectfully disagree or provide encouragement. peers post The dilemma in this situation is that Miss Julia does not want to receive any more chemo or medical treatment for her lung cancer. However, her son Neil would like his mother to continue receiving medical treatment for her cancer. Assessment, Julia has stated that she is tired and her body is sore. She feels that nothing good is coming out of her receiving medical treatment for lung cancer. She has also stated that even the doctor stated that there is nothing else that can be done for her cancer. Miss Julia has also voiced that while she is in the hospital she feels even sicker than she does in general. She also has spoken about her concern about just wanting to be comfortable as possible at home with her partner and let life take its course. Analyze the advantages/disadvantages of this situation: Advantages: Miss Julia receives exactly want she wants after receiving medical care for four years. Which I believe is the most important thing when it comes to patient caregiving. Disadvantages: Miss Julia will feel like her needs and wants are not being heard by both the medical team and her own family. Miss Julia may decline quicker due to being too depressed to do anything that would extend her life. Make the decision: It would be best to listen to Miss Julia’s wants and needs and form a care plan well enough to provide her comfort care for the continuation of her life. It would also be best to have both Miss Julia, her partner, and her son Neil have constant communication when it comes to Miss Julia’s care. Accept the consequences of the decision: After a proper care plan has been formed and decided for Miss Julia’s health from here on out it would be best to continue to reevaluate possibly every year, especially if Miss Julia’s health improves and not depleted.
