[quote=Anonymous]My mom (age 68) has end stage cancer and I’ve leaned a lot by talking to a friend who is a hospice nurse. For me, the best thing has been to work on accepting my mom’s decisions, even when I wouldn’t do the same thing in her situation. It’s meant that we can enjoy our time together rather than having tension about treatment decisions. And having watched my mom suffer through lots of chemo and other harsh treatments, I completely understand why an older person might decide to forgo treatment. In my 80s seems like a pretty good time to go if I was going to choose.[/quote]
