What people say... “Very simply, I’m after quality of life rather than quantity. Once I realised that, it influenced a lot of the decisions in there (the written advance care plan). I also realised I didn’t want to be too black & white, that I want the doctors to decide what’s best at the time.” (Consumer on documenting his ACP, 2018)
