Tell that to my father..who died in 1998 of colon cancer..suffered a miserable death..no one who has ever had cancer would say something as stupid as this
I am really sorry the passing of your father was so distressful. It did not have to be that way. Somewhere between symptoms and diagnosis a decision was tacitly made and agreed to by you, your father, and the doctor to prolong his life at all costs. You have to ask yourself if that memory of those months of agonized life was worth the extra months of life. It is understandable why you made that decision you did as you only had one chance to get it right, with little if any input and help from the medical professions. I am sure if you had to do it again a hospice with a dignified death would have been your choice. I say this with the greatest compassion and empathy, not only for your but also others who have faced a horrible end to a good life.
I know I wouldn’t.
