SUMMARY:180 Days. To Die. To Live. - December 8\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:180 Days. To Die. To Live. is the story of two peoples’ end-of-life trajectories through the lens of the narrator. Focused on their last six months\, the narrator’s husband\, Richard\, and her friend\, Shelley\, were both diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Richard chose seven rounds of chemotherapy treatment. Shelley chose no treatment. Both opted to use California’s end-of-life option. \nAlthough legalized in California in 2016\, many Californians still don’t know the end-of-life option exists. Through these stories\, the play also addresses what it takes to be eligible for this option and the sometimes difficult navigation through the healthcare system. \nThe seemingly somber\, “comic” relief is provided by the narrator\, the widow\, a cancer survivor herself\, who is busy learning qigong and other modalities to do her best to stay cancer free and healthy during and through her grief-stricken time. Ultimately\, this play is about the choices faced and possible during one’s end-of-life\, traversing the personal\, to the health care options and to the legalities. \nMembers of End of Life Choices California’s Board of Directors will participate in post-performance talkback sessions with the audience and cast of the play. \n\nNovember 10 – Stewart Florsheim\, Board Vice President\nNovember 16 – Adrian Byram\, Board Secretary\nNovember 22 – Bob Brody\, MD\, Board President\nDecember 1 – Reina Galanes\, PhD\, Board Member\nDecember 7 – Sue Gess\, PharmD\, Advisory Council\nDecember 8 – Judith Bishop\, RN\, Volunteer\n\nCost: \nGeneral Admission = $25-35 (sliding scale) \nReserved Seating = $50-100 \nDiscount Code = EOL for $20 tickets \nBuy tickets online \nBox Office (tickets by phone): \n415-282-3055 \nMon-Fri 1:00-4:00 PM \nQuestions: Contact Speaker@endoflifechoicesca.org

SUMMARY:180 Days. To Die. To Live. - December 1\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:180 Days. To Die. To Live. is the story of two peoples’ end-of-life trajectories through the lens of the narrator. Focused on their last six months\, the narrator’s husband\, Richard\, and her friend\, Shelley\, were both diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Richard chose seven rounds of chemotherapy treatment. Shelley chose no treatment. Both opted to use California’s end-of-life option. \nAlthough legalized in California in 2016\, many Californians still don’t know the end-of-life option exists. Through these stories\, the play also addresses what it takes to be eligible for this option and the sometimes difficult navigation through the healthcare system. \nThe seemingly somber\, “comic” relief is provided by the narrator\, the widow\, a cancer survivor herself\, who is busy learning qigong and other modalities to do her best to stay cancer free and healthy during and through her grief-stricken time. Ultimately\, this play is about the choices faced and possible during one’s end-of-life\, traversing the personal\, to the health care options and to the legalities. \nMembers of End of Life Choices California’s Board of Directors will participate in post-performance talkback sessions with the audience and cast of the play. \n\nNovember 10 – Stewart Florsheim\, Board Vice President\nNovember 16 – Adrian Byram\, Board Secretary\nNovember 22 – Bob Brody\, MD\, Board President\nDecember 1 – Reina Galanes\, PhD\, Board Member\nDecember 7 – Sue Gess\, PharmD\, Advisory Council\nDecember 8 – Judith Bishop\, RN\, Volunteer\n\nCost: \nGeneral Admission = $25-35 (sliding scale) \nReserved Seating = $50-100 \nDiscount Code = EOL for $20 tickets \nBuy tickets online \nBox Office (tickets by phone): \n415-282-3055 \nMon-Fri 1:00-4:00 PM \nQuestions: Contact Speaker@endoflifechoicesca.org
