Have you ever had to make a decision that someone told you was 'life or death'? Maybe it's another round of chemo, a surgery, or an experimental treatment. The stress at these crossroads can be intense. In Part 2 of 'Death by a Thousand Cuts,' Jay Fishman faces a choice that is fundamental for patients with ALS, a choice that could either shorten or prolong his life. But at what cost? And what happens when people disagree about what to do? Jay explains his evolving thought process and how he ultimately decided what was right for him and his family.

This is 'When I Die, Let Me Live,' a new podcast where we take up the taboo, fraught, delicate, but universal topic of death. We'll invite you into the lives of our guest, many of whom are patients, caregivers, and health professionals, as we try to understand what it means to live more fully as the end approaches. In these stories, we hope to find our own voices and feel moved to start having conversations with the people we care about. Because facing death isn't about dying but leaning into our living. Join us each month starting at the top of 2017, and subscribe to us on iTunes.
