Exactly, Karen! When the only options are no treatment = pain then death, or treatment = pain and extended survival, I don't think the choice is brave, just no-brainer obvious. However, I suspect that the people who see us and make those comments wonder if they could do what we are doing, because they have never had to make that very simple decision. In the end, though, if we didn't start out tough, we sure do end up that way!
