I personally think that was a really nasty and uncalled for. I say go for whatever is the best for you dilli whatever the cost and don't feel guilty be thankful that you have that choice. My Mum who is 80 has Myeloma that affects the bone marrow cells and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is a blood cancer. Just last week my Mum had a CT scan despite deciding on no treatment would this poster class this as a waste of money in giving someone a CT scan for the monitoring of the cancer progression despite their decision of no treatment. In their opinion should our family or my Mum feel guilty about the NHS money being spent on her because she is 80 with a illness that has no cure.
The answer to that is no I do not, what I do feel is extremely grateful and thankful that she has these choices IMO some people can be really thoughtless in what they say to someones situation and to those people I ignore thank goodness we can make these choices dilli. Your decision dilli and yours alone and to hell with those who don't agree with it that is my opinion. Good luck dilli and for the record I admire you in the tough decisions that you have made and still have to make.
