[quote=Anonymous]My mom was diagnosed with a very rare cancer that is usually terminal in 5 years. She did not tell us the extent of the diagnosis but a family member who is a physician told me when she was diagnosed that we would be lucky if she was here in five years. My mom pretty much continued to live her life as normally as possible - visiting people, going out to eat and traveling, etc. Sometimes she was very tired from chemotherapy but she tried to have a normal life except for a few times when she was in the hospital due to chemo complications. She lived four and a half years from diagnosis so the original estimates were correct.. Being a cop about things she did would not have changed the course of aggressive cancer. I think you have to let the patient decide how they are going to live. [/quote]
