Having watched my first wife die from cancer over the course of 6-1/2 years I learned enough oncology to know this. I will take the most aggressive first course of treatment I can bear. If the cancer goes away, great. If it comes back, I’m buying a ticket to Bali or Tahiti. Then I’m coming home, see my family and friends and when it begins to hurt every day, there’s a nice bit of woods behind my house and a little .22 pistol in my safe.
Lost a wife also. Same plan for me except no .22 I’ll just hook up some nitrogen and go to sleep and let the family have an open casket.
Same here. I’ll give the cancer doctors one good chance, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll die as well as I can.
