To the non-user, palliative care is something done for the needy, on offer to those being eased towards and into death. Generally palliative care comes into its own once investigations and treatments have reached an end, and that end is presumed final. This chapter presents a patient's perspective on palliative care. It seeks to explore the palliative care we wish for as we undergo our journey. Good palliative care never negates that strong desire we have to be ourselves and for continuity.
