As I read the piece it sounded like a systematic destruction of a man by radiation over a thirty month period. When faced with cancer, at what point does a person decide to opt for quality of life instead?
You haven’t had cancer I guess.
His quality of life is pretty damned good. Actually the quality of life even as the cancer gets bad can be pretty damned good. From the outside, people say things like what you said. What worries me is how long before people who have never had cancer begin to decide the quality is is just too bad to keep living.
Odd, I read the account and this is exactly what happened to my grandmother except she died when her carotids bled.
