well my dad has a brain tumor along with kidney problems. he has already had 2 surgeries on his brain and a few different chemo/radiation treatments, but the cancer is still present and growing. his kidneys are only functioning at 15% as of about a week ago. as of now, the bad kidneys are going to be what does him in. he could go through dialysis, but then the cancer would kill him shortly thereafter. he could go through more chemo/radiation shit, but the doctors say that will only prolong his life by a short amount. he decided to not do anymore treatments and just to live the rest of his life on his own power. either way he is not really living imo. he lays around all day and sleeps; he has little to no energy; he doesn't eat or drink unless someone puts it in front of his face. and if he were doing any of those treatments, it would be much worse. i like to think of myself as a pretty mentally-tough person, but it's really fucking hard to watch him just sit there and sleep all day--knowing that his time is up soon. i hate to say that i wish death upon him, but he is not living in the sense that a normal person would, and i feel that it would be better for everyone if he went ahead and passed on.
