Yes, Quality of Life has been the key desire of several people I know dying and one now dead. Also, I have a cousin who is surviving after developing colon cancer to stop threatening after removal of almost all of his large intestine, only to find out he has multiple myeloma showing up in his blood tests every 6 weeks, but staying dormant. His quality of life is living under the threat of more cancer, but he is still functioning quite well, albeit with pain and lots of anxiety.
