Opinion: The real value of having end-of-life options
Our ailing president’s decision to stop medical treatment and die at home in hospice was also my mother-in-law’s last wish.
Little did we know years later, she would develop an aggressive stomach cancer that would spread throughout her body in just a few weeks. I will never forget that warm afternoon in late September 2022 when we went to the doctor for what we thought would be treatment for my mother-in-law’s gallstones. Our world came to a stop when we heard the doctor’s words: “The cancer is back and it is very aggressive.”
My mother-in-law’s screams echoed inside the clinic as nurses inserted a PICC line into her frail veins. Tears rolled down my cheeks as the chemo slowly entered her right arm.“No,” my mother-in-law responded, “Keep going.”
