Looking to the future together
If you have a serious illness or condition, you would like to receive the care and treatment that suits you and is good for you. People around you need to know what is important to you, so that they can think along with you. It's nice if your parents know this, but it's also important that your doctor or nurse knows.
To discover what is important to you, it is sometimes necessary to look ahead to the future. What do you think is important when things are going well for you? What do you think is important when things aren't going well for you?
Your doctor or nurse may invite you for a meeting to talk about you, your illness and the future together. You can also request such an interview yourself.
