Has Anyone Elected for No Treatment?

My brother’s wife died of a glioblastoma a few years ago. She was really angry about it. Her whole life she had watched what she ate, took really good care of herself Physically and mentally and here this brain tumor comes and shortens her life to less than a year.
It’s taken my brother many years to get over it. Not long after she died, he finds out he has prostate cancer. Life can sure hand people difficult situations, and then what seems like a normal life goes on.

You are literally cut off at the knees with the diagnosis of GBA. Knowing how terrible that diagnosis can be keeps me grounded and grateful.
Even with all you’ve been through, Jeff - and you’ve been through a LOT - you’ve seen how much worse it can be. You are still here, able to offer others help and guidance in what seems like their darkest hours.
You can still enjoy family, friends and life in general. Your sister in law and my friend’s son had ZERO chance of coming out the other side.
I understand her anger; we all know we’re gonna die and all we ask for is a chance to fight; and if we lose, to go down swinging, not laced into a straight jacket and thrown off a cliff.
