Tillie nailed it as usual: "since no choice can possibly result in a cure". So it comes down to how we want to go forward. I do not wish to cause any more pain or suffering to my family then I have to, and yet each day I see my wife suffer as she has to take care of me. We discuss our options the best we can and go forward. She loves and respects my character as I do hers. She keeps trying every crazy thing that she can to try and cure me because she know that none of the "standard" treatments do. While it is very hard for her to watch me suffer she does understand that I am coping the only way I know how. I think that trying to have this understanding is the best that any caregiver can do.
