He reported a couple weeks back that the cancer has progressed and he is living a death sentence. Hoping he can stay around as long as possible.

Hoping he can stay around as long as possible? I know you believe that is a good outcome, but it isn’t always the case. My Mother lived with us (my Wife, and I) for the final 8 years of her life (We asked her to live with us after my Stepfather passed away) … Too much back story, so straight to the why.  My mother was diagnosed with cancer and given a single year (give or take a short amount of time) to live if she had chemo and radiation treatments, and just 3 months if she didn’t.  She chose to not receive the treatment.
 
Now for the issue I had with trying to keep her alive longer. Her last month was horribly painful for her (Mentally, and physically). My Sister, and my Wife would constantly debate/beg with her to eat (constantly) so she could keep her strength up. They couldn’t understand why I told them to stop trying to force her to “keep her strength up” … So the end result? She suffered longer than she should have. Her last days didn’t have to be so hard for her, and her family that had to witness her slow miserable death. Let the terminally ill chart their own path, don’t wish them to live an extra week, or month. That’s nothing less than torture.
 
I love you and miss you greatly, Mom.

PS, My apologies SC ... You hit a nerve.
