I had the final say to stop my Dad's cancer treatments.

July 19, 2024 02:18PM
My Step Mom put me on speaker phone from Socastee South Carolina (RIGHT next to Myrtle Beach) She and then the Doctor explained the situation. The Doctor gave me all the details about the chain reaction of "treatments' that had to be addressed. He followed with..After that, we are STILL dealing with a 78 year old, battling Stage 4 Bone cancer and Multiple Myeloma. I had seen my Dad just two days before and he looked TERRIBLE and was basically living via drugs. It was VERY VERY surreal to make the call. The second I did, THEN the Doctor told me...Very wise choice. They said they would stop all medications and treatments. They said it might take hours or even a day or two before he would pass. Just 40 minutes later, I got the call that he passed. He was ready! I have a feeling your Brother is too and would be all for that call.
