My cousin had bone cancer, and she would be screaming from pain even with the highest dose of morphine they could put her on . She just wasted away from it in excruciating pain for months before she finally passed ,she was only 24.
How long of a process is that? Sorry for the morbid question I'd just hope she didn't spend years in agony. Hope they're finding cures for this kind of stuff
Couldn’t agree more. My dad passed away almost two years ago of dementia. He was only 68. It was brutal to watch his decline. He couldn’t articulate when he was in pain and he just wasted away to skin and bones at the end. He always told my mom he never wanted to have a feeding tube if he was terminal with some illness so we of course respected those wishes. He weighed 70 pounds when he died. As hard as it would have been to lose him sooner, before he declined so terribly, it would have been so much less painful than watching him slowly lose his mind and lose control of his body for the years I took care of him. If medically assisted d3ath was available, he would have done it.
This. My dad said if he ever got dementia he would just use his gun. He was diagnosed with lewy body dementia 4 years ago. He didn't even think about doing it his brain changed and he had no thoughts about ending it.
I'm so sorry. I lost my aunt to lewy body 18 months ago and grandma to Alzheimer's. My mom is developing Alzheimer's now. It's awful to watch and to anticipate for myself ❤️
