Yeah nothing against someone who is terminal giving up. For instance, his brother has cancer right now and is not expected to make it either, and everyone simply accepts it. What seems wrong to me is we know plenty of people who've had a bypass surgery and are now back to normal, because they did what the doctors said.
I have accepted that I will probably be dead in a few years. It is why I haven't had the PEG removed. I'm keeping it in so I can dump pills and vodka directly into my stomach if things hurt too much.
I have accepted things. I have all my end of life stuff sitting in a envelope on my desk. I have already paid for my remains to be taken care of. Sigh, the funeral home I paid in advance is probably going to end up on a episode of of American Greed.
But yeah, don't take it personal if we give up. There is a point where the bad is greater than the good and just checking out is the smart thing to do.
