The end of the road will be there for all of us, eventually, but it seems so unfair that one should go through so much. I hope you can find peace and have the best possible summer, surrounded by friends and family. Much love XXXXX

She retired from work at that point in January and spent the few final months enjoying the time she had left. Though here it was winter and she passed the beginning of June she spent the spring horse back riding and chasing dogs at the field trials she enjoyed so much. I wish she had more time to enjoy the summer and fall, but things deteriorated pretty quickly in May of 2017.
If it were me I would spend more time enjoying what time you have left. My wife had a pretty good quality of life during the whole period of her treatment, but she worked perhaps too long, and didn't spend enough time at the end doing the things she loved before it was too late. From your profile you did a lot of things that really subjected you to a poor quality of life for periods of time that didn't enable you to enjoy the time you had left. My wife was never a candidate for surgery being older (53 at the time) but in really good physical shape before all this started. She was a life time runner. Did so even after diagnosis until the Chemo just took too much of her energy away. She had almost 4 good solid years with a pretty good quality of life overall however. Its a hard choice to make. But be a little (or a lot) selfish, you are entitled to be.
Enjoy Life while you have it. Never know when it might be cut short!
Regards,
GrouseMan
