BB,

I agree with you completely, but even quality of life issues should be up to the patient. We recently lost a friend who was on dialysis three times a week and having other cancer complications. When he got a serious case of Covid he made the decision to stop the dialysis rather than continuing to fight for more time. All of us miss him, but respect what he did, he lived life on his own terms.

My grandmother, when found to have pancreatic cancer at 93 choose to do nothing to sustain her life further, just meds to ease the pain. I saw her the day before she passed, she seemed to be more mentally sharp that day, I never thought it would be her last. No one disagreed with her choice, though we'd have loved her to be around longer, but what she did was certainly right for her.
