All who have gone thru this need to know why so much suffering. When my old Dad was diagnosed we all knew the outcome including him. The hospital gave him about 5 months. His GP tried everything to keep him going, radiotherapy (till he refused because being on the table made him cry out), steroids to help his strength, and suggested chemo which Dad said no to. We both asked the doc to stop trying so hard. Dad would cry and ask me why he kept waking in the morning - he just wanted to go. When he did, 3 weeks b4 Xmas, his doc said 'Oh and I thought he would see Xmas'. In fact the hospital said July and I just wish God had called him then and wonder why he didn't.
