Re: Developing a Plan to Ease Out When Push Comes To Shove
Always good to hear from you John.
Yes indeed, I am developing a suitable strategy for coping with the final stages of PCa. I suspect a recent and very personal and very disturbing experience with a common palliative care medication (morphine) contributed to my search for an effective alternative. Without a great deal of thought, research and handwringing, marijuana occurred to me as a viable alternative. As usual I shared my thoughts with my fellow PCa Warriors.
Best wishes Don O.
Re: Developing a Plan to Ease Out When Push Comes To Shove
Well Don after conversing with you over all these years, I was reasonably sure that your exit strategy would be well in place. I guess the most important element is to bring about a dignified death on your terms. When it comes to the crunch, some people embrace death, for others, fear is the overriding factor in the final part of their journey. But as we know a good many of us old PCa warriors have gone before us and through their stories, and of course your's, a lasting legacy has endured. I wonder what the next millennium of PCa warriors will think when they read all about Proton Don? Don't forget the final chapter of the blog Don! As always best wishes,

John:
There has been so many developments in the treatment of PCa my journal is fast becoming a historic relic. Even so my intent is to keep it going for as long as possible. Hopefully the final chapter will read "Easing On Out."
Best wishes to you and yours.
Don O.
