amieb Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 How do you know if it is just a "bad day" or if he is getting worse? How do you know when treatments are not worth it? How do you know when to stop fighting and just be comfortable? He is not ready to stop fighting. But every day I see him get worse and I am doing everything I can without him getting any better. Any help? I read him all the survivor stories from this forum and they made him smile. He wants to fight. He wants to survive. I just want to make the right decisions to let him do just that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I guess you know whether it's just a bad day or things are getting worse, by how he feels a couple days later. You probably can't answer that question with just one bad day - need a series of them. How do you know when treatments are not worth it? How do you know when to stop fighting and just be comfortable? The answers to those questions are different for each person.He wants to fight. He wants to survive. I just want to make the right decisions to let him do just that. Those are decisions that you have to let him make. Just let him know that you will support him whatever decision he does make.Best wishes Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I am so sorry to hear that your dad is having such a a tough time. But glad to hear he wants to keep fighting. He will know what is best for him and his doctors I am sure will give him good advice. And he is lucky to have you there to support him. Hang in there and my prayers are with you.
