I apoligize i had no idea that you were retired. this does make it a different situation. you would spend an increased amount of time with him. as for for the looks, i agree they do know when somethings bothering you and such.

However speaking as someone who has been through chemo IMO i dont think it is always the best course. in my case yes, however seeing what people went through with other types of cancer their is NO way i would do it in their place (Seeing what they had to endure). and the time given up to treatment is usually more then what you get in return any way (serious Cases). in my opinion im not so sure it is better to live an extra 2 years in pain after a years worth of treatment, when you could have lived 1-2 years without haveng to endure the trial and tribulations of treatment, with the same or less pain. Sometimes the time you have left is the least painful. the treatment itself can be worse than the symptoms. However what one can endure for their family rather then alone is quite incredible.

IMO from seeing people having cases from skin, testicular, lung, throat, kidney, breast, colon, stomache cancers.

When you spend a week a monthe for a year in incare you see some things and meet some people.

Sorry i have much to say on the topic and i will end with this which i hope does not take over this thread but .....

I feel euthinism (mercy killing) should be legal.
