[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 286970, member: 1514"] Lisa...I really feel for mother in law. At this point quality of life is pretty poor. I hate pain. That is the worst part of anything. I have often told everyone who will listen that the pain is what is going to take me out. I wont live long enough to get alzheimers because my pain will get debilitating long before that and I wont live with it. When my grandmother came to live with my mom, she ended up having dementia but also had cancer behind her eye in her brain. The doctors all wanted us to do surgery to remove this cancer but it would have meant cutting out her eye and removing part of the facial bone around her eye and forehead. Uhhh...no. She was in her late 80s, completely demented and bedridden. What on earth good would that do? Prolong her life for what? I was only in my mid 20s then but I told the docs hell no. [/QUOTE]
