Leave him alone and let him live as he wishes.He already has cancer so let him enjoy the rest of his days as best he can.

I have already told all my family if I am ever diagnosed with it to not start on me about what to do just leave me alone to live whats left.No radiation or this natural bs.Why have to change your routine and every thing you wanted to do to try to get a few extra days living in ways you hate.

I am not sure if you have ever had someone in that position before.. but from my experience, even when they want to be left alone, it is comforting for them to have some kind of presence of someone they know, near by.  Why?  Because they are thinking about how they are leaving their kids behind, or how will their wife or husband do, once they are gone.  They worry so much about who they are leaving behind and how they will cope, not them and how they would cope, get it?   As humans it is in our nature to care, even the most stubborn asshole out there is worrying about someone or a pet or something.  So being obsoletely alone is BS, you always appreciate having some one around, even if it is to bitch about everything until your last day.

I didnt say not be there for him.I said leave him alone as far as trying to make him eat this or that or try this or that.Annoys the hell out of a sick person when people start that crap...and yes I am more than familiar.I lost my husband at a very early age and was left alone to raise our son from age 9 without his father...Also lost my closest friend at age 44 due to cancer.

Original Message That my father in-law has stage four lung cancer. He must have known about this for some time , as he was losing weight and having black outs, but didn't want to know what was causing it. He is a stubborn SOB and fuck he pisses me off to no end, but I love and respect him. I know for a fact he will not go with any "traditional methods" of dealing with shit.

I am hoping he may be interested in natural methods. I don't expect to provide him longevity in life, he isn't looking for that. I just want him to be comfortable. Hubby can't deal with this at all and his mother is the same. It is me that will be facing him and holding his hand in his final days. As much as we are at each others throat, I will stand by his side.

Anyone who may have gone through this, or is going through this, I would love to hear from you. I was always the "outcast" daughter in law. I always spoke my mind and would not allow my father in law to belittle me, like he has done with others in his family. I am left being the one to help him walk his path. I don't wish any thing else, I know it is what I must do. I just wish I had the knowledge and strength to do this.

I believe you go through the motions alone... my dammit, I will be there 90% of the way.
