"This list is a positive thing from my perspective. There is nothing on that list I plan on using."

Always have a plan b though. I did not. We retired three years ago, no debt, modest six figure savings. Social security has been more than adequate for our needs until cancer reared its ugly head. The plan of treatment will likely bankrupt us with absolutely no guarantee of cure or improvement in the quality of my life. Palliative care and hospice are looking like the best options to preserve assets and income for my wife.

That’s the thing. If one of us gets cancer there will be no treatment. Even if we had full insurance. At the most we’d go for the Gerson method. We have one friend who had stage four cancer and went Gerson. She’s been cancer free now over seven years.

But in the end, we welcome death. It’s inevitable. And we both embrace Paul’s words.
