I have just returned from the emergency room, where my father is now, receiving saline and blood to increase his blood pressure. We called an ambulance after he passed out twice this evening.

I don’t know if he will ever get strong enough to receive the chemotherapy, but he did say “yes” when asked if he wanted to be resuscitated if his heart stopped or put on a respirator if he stopped breathing, so he hasn’t given up hope.

Short of a miracle, I don’t see much hope beyond a few months, and those spent in pain. Whatever he decides, though, I’m behind him 100%, regardless of what anyone else wants. It is his life, and I will defend at all costs his right to decide how it ends.
