Ina Im very sorry to hear about the latest update on Joyce. Poor thing has been thru so much already. To me it sounds like she has made her decision to not have any more treatment. Without treatment this will only get progressively worse.

Im not sure what is offered in her country. Here in the US we have hospice to help with a persons end of life issues. Here its ok to call them well in advance to help with the patient. Ive heard this is very comforting and invaluable to both the patient and the family involved.

As always, wishing you and Joyce all the best.
