Watching an old acquaintance literally fading away from a fight with cancer and other medical issues. You wonder how much longer he wants to keep up the struggle? Seems like every month brings a new complication and from the photos that I've seen, I want to scream: Enough is enough!!! It sounds like all hope for a cure or any measure of recovery is gone. He's been through hell for at least two years now. Isn't that enough? Why can't he either be cured, comforted or taken?
I don't know what he believes about God and life and the end of life and what his fears are but if he eventually made the choice, could he really be condemned for ending the fight?
Then again, I don't know what's going through his mind. He might amaze us all if we could see beyond the body language. If he wants to keep fighting, if he does have hope for his future, then more power to him!!
