Having helped to nurse a relative through the 10 months it took her to die of liver cancer, I can only say, be carefull what you wish for.
Two of my grandparents died of cancer, one shortly after the other. Grandma was liver too. They went through great suffering and I was there taking care of both of them. I'd still take a cancer death over my life.
I understand you want to ctb without it being your fault.
However, if you don't seek treatment when you have the means and support, it is still kind of your fault.
I would say the only time it would be appropriate is when you are old and achieved everything you wanted or don't have any major regrets in life.
Anyways, I'm just playing devil's advocate and giving a sort of spiritual point of view on this argument.
I know it would be "my fault". I don't have an issue with that. It's just that I can't take myself out in a "conventional" way because I'm too much of a chicken to do something like jumping out of a window, setting myself on fire or even drinking SN.
On top of your present daily pain, anticipate potentially screaming day and night for relief, vomiting every time you try to even take a sip of water, despite a burning thirst and raging temperature, loss of control of your bowels and bladder and being so weak you cannot even move yourself from side to side in bed; which is where ulcerated bed sores come in.
This isn't as an alternative to what you are presently enduring ... it's in addition to it. Ten months is a long time.
Maybe then I would be finally granted euthanasia, wouldn't that be great? Considering it's what I want more than anything? I'm a quitter.
I'm wishing for a stray bullet strike and kill me.
Or maybe just get shot, struck by lightning, hit by car, sudden heart attack, I'll take anything at this point.
I recently had this video flushed into my feed.
She had lung cancer.
Of course, no one can say how long she would have suffered without treatment. But she suffered either way. Imagine your lung filling up with cancer. The feeling of suffocating.
I don't want that.
As someone who has had someone in my family with cancer, I would definitely prepone my suicide if I were diagnosed. I think wishing for cancer or any other fatal disease is easy to say. But the truth is that it's a long, painful ordeal that will probably drive you mad without treatment (even if it's just painkillers, and even those sometimes aren't enough).
Here is another case; she had brain cancer.
I don't want to imagine what would happen if I just let brain cancer run rampant/untreated. No, I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemy.
Cancer sucks.
I know it's easy to say, that's why I'm saying it. If only I could get so lucky and have a tumor eat my brain and kill me. I would take that 100% of the time over living a depression-ridden life to old age.
