my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 79. he was a strong man, physically and emotionally.
my feeling is that the doctor advised him it could unfold in several ways, some of which would be very unpleasant, where in effect he would become a significant burden on my mom.
he virtually stopped eating and and passed away in about 2 months.
it's not something we talk about, but it seems like the kind of thing he'd do, for the benefit of those he loved.
