If you were told by your doctor that you were very sick (44)
saguaroGlendale, Arizona USA39 Threads 1,534 Postsand had about 6 months to a year to live but you could buy yourself another 6 months if you were to go through these horrible treatments and you would feel much worse while doing them, would you buy the extra 6 months and feel awful or take the shorter trip and at least feel decent?

Well personally, I would probably rather go without the treatment. Of course thats not to say that you or anyone else should. Its a very personal decision that takes alot of serious thought.

I'd get a second opinion

I wouldnt know which road to take till it was time.

personally, probly w/o treatment, but my decision would have to take into consideration my son & his circumstances, etc. if i could get im to see my perspective, then that's what i'd do.

I would live every last minute like the last!

ditto on that and think maybe that doc needs an opinion and it wouldn't be pretty

Not that my 2 cents is probably wanted here, but...

Did you hear about the Dr. who told the patient he only has six weeks to live. The patient didn't pay his bill and the Dr. gave him another six weeks.

not knowing the degree of the sickness I would say with the time left and the extra 6 months you could use some of that time to seek other help or do reaserch into prolonging the time this person has. Its like someone with kidney failure you could let it take its course or go through dialysis which is a terrible situation but the overall pic is the longer your alive the better chance of recieving a transplant.

Not in quite that position, but did have a bout with cancer.
Did as I was told I needed to do to prolong my life. I now
have very thin hair, big deal, if it all falls out I will wear
a wig. That was several years ago and I am still here and
thanking the great Spirit for every day that I have. I of course
did have more than one opinion. I think it is a very difficult
decision and one that you need to clear your mind of all
negative thoughts and meditate. My best wishes and prayers
to the great Spirit will be for you Saguaro.

death and knowing it is upon you? I believe I would take the treatments not for myself but for those who will follow me. I've lived a real exciting and full life,the thought of maybe just maybe my demise could benefit or even possibly save lives where do I sign up... its easy to find justifable reasons not to tolerate pain and agony. I owe this worlds inhabitants a great deal so much of my accompishemtns and successes and laughter and memeories was on account of you.... yeah fr the cure forthe reseach, for the cause... plug me in for 6 months. Just allow me my sponge baths be by naughty female nurses..
come on 6 months of agony for the sake of mankind and medicine,give me that one request atleast.

I wouldn't believe him. I've never known a smart doctor in my life. Don't jump all over me for that, but its true in my eyes.
BTW-- My Mom was told a few short months after my birth that she wouldn't live to see me reach my fifth birthday, and 30 years later she is still alive and kicking,

Hi honey. Drs., are mostly right, but sometimes wrong. I am sure that you have had second opinions. I of course, don't know how you are feeling now. But, if I had the energy and "want to", I would live every moment that I was so afraid to do because of the dangers. Fear of the "what ifs" would no longer be in play. If this is indeed you, and you are that very sick. Please, please live your life to it's fullest and waste no time. Don't sit around missing out, if it is at all possible. Adrenalin can be very uplifting. Couldn't hurt.
Bless you, and hope is good medicine.
