I know after what my mom went through with her cancer treatment I would chose to do NO TREATMENT & live a few months less but have a better quality of life doing it.

Got in a discussion with the PA at the pain specialist office before I left because of their policy on lowering the pain med I had been on successfully with NO side effects for 18 years. They were doing this song & dance about how bad the med was & I said...ok...tell me what in my body it has harmed these last 18 years....was met with silence. Then I said IF ibuprofen had worked & i had to take an equivalent high dose to control the pain, what bad shape would my kidneys be in by now & that crap is OTC. Then they said it could be bad later on in life. I said....Ill take that chance since tomorrow I could step off a curb & be hit by a car or in a fatal auto accident before that ever MIGHT happen. Also told them if i was going to end up going back to the no quality life I had before the med thete was no way I was going to bother caring for any other aspect of my health life.

Decided if that was the care they were NOW giving since the owner I first saw has retired....i dont need their crap & will find some other pain specislist. Blessed thst my migrainesvatent as bad as they had been but they are worse then when on the dose thst worked with the med. But when life quality is low its hardbto want to do anything to encourage life. I wont actively tey to end my life sny more but I wont do anything to encourage lengthening it either
