[quote=Anonymous]I do have experience with someone showing signs of dementia pre-surgery and definitely hacing it post surgery. I would never put someone with late stage Alzheimers through surgery. Insane, but I would consult with a lawyer about how to follow any directives so family doesn't come after you. Why biopsy and why go through cancer treatment? Trigger warning for those who don't want to know-this will be morbid. Let me tell you how Alzheimers can look if you make it to the bitter end....you can't walk, talk, use bathroom on own or feed yourself.You are at high risk of aspiration and pneumonia. In the case of one of my parents, all you can do is moan and try to remove all the wires attached to you, but because you stipulated you wanted every life saving measure, when you pull it off, hospital staff must put everything back on as you moan some more in distress.[/quote]
