OK but I was responding to davidcpa's post inviting "awkward" questions concerning the terminal stages. I am quite satisfied with my CCC treatments here. I am under the eye of a Hospice here but dislike their "feel good" approach - the hospice, although located at the the local Public Hospital, is contract run and staffed by the Salvation Army. I was not inquiring about treatment options and do not see that you needrd to edit and move my response to him - but thank you for caring LOL

So to reiterate my specific question :

"Feel free to ask any end of life questions.

"Now my question is if the growths continue how do I die ? I have a good heart etc and breath through my neck and eat via PEG so I by pass the mass in my throat - so does it keep growing until it hemorrhages and I die in a sudden explosion of blood loss ? "
