After discussion and soul-searching, he decided that no further treatment was really worth it. He made his peace, and decided that he would like to come home to St. Louis to die. He will be home next week.

I know a woman who has been fighting cancer for twelve years. Some folks think she's nuts but she has managed to bring out the good in a number of folks. She needs assistance getting to and from her chemo treatments and there is always someone ready to do it. My youngest daughter went a number of times, when my Mom who is a cancer survivor drove her, developing a relationship with her and the staff in the clinic. I don't think anyone looking in has a right answer in these cases so the wishes of the patient have to be respected. Its his life, its his choice so you have to support him.
