I think so. And I have to respect his autonomy. My sister’s husband refused treatment for tongue cancer and died two years later-a bad death. My sister said they had many conversations about it, but she had to respect his choices. No one really knows what choices they will make until they have to make the choice.
This has been exhausting.

I hope so. His nephrologist is having him do blood tests once a month now. She called this morning an hour after his labs. His creatinine is now 5.4 and his egfr is 10. I could not hear the conversation, only long silences and then him saying he would wait another month to see what happens. He said that a few times.
Does anyone know what symptoms I should look for that means it is time for an emergency?
