For many years, I thought that I'd absolutely take advantage of MAID. Then I got terminal cancer. Having the need go from hypothetical to real was terrifying. I didn't know if I would have the courage. I am 5 years into my dx now, and feeling more brave. I am responding well to treatment so the need has receded from the forefront of my payche and I think I am able to re-examine it with a clearer mindset.Beth Casetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40952578828955025.post-24483786230898547982016-12-17T15:21:04.190-07:002016-12-17T15:21:04.190-07:00Couldn't agree more, Susanna.

She would never let me suffer like this." Maybe we should all stock pile those drugs for the future before big pharma wrecks it. Life is amazing and the path to death doesn't have to be the worst part of life (when it's right, when it's truly time). Bless your friend for sharing. Thank you.

Thanks for reading it nonetheless. If I ever learn more about how to reconstruct my blog design, I will definitely be changing out the colors to black on white vs. white on black.

There's a time and a place for capitalism and it's NOT during the final moments of life. <br />Lauren Ward Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208638661098310825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40952578828955025.post-13833541100229866702016-12-15T14:52:42.825-07:002016-12-15T14:52:42.825-07:00Amen, Maurie.
