(10,117 posts)I appreciate your input. Do you mean not to bother with treatment at all?
I think Dad understands the reality. But, he plans to get treatment as well as doing following the other advice you mentioned. What I mean about the best care is probably more about making it least awful as possible. So, Hershey Med, ten minutes away, is looking better.
I'm sorry to admit I haven't spoken to him yet. He called my husband yesterday and asked him to break the news to me because I'm a bit defective at handling such things. Every time I try to call, I break down and don't complete the call. I don't think it's awful to be emotional, but I just want to be able to speak. Working on calming down. Got it together to read up on the disease and to write this OP. Hope to call him later today.
This pandemic, of course, complicates things. Not that they're RWers being belligerently ignorant about it, but My siblings haven't been as careful as my husband and I. One of my four sibs is a RWer, but she claims she's being careful. Meanwhile, she sends me a pic her herself and her best friend cheek to cheek on a beach blanket recently.
Not only don't we want my parents to get COVID, we don't want to get sick. So, visiting them is more worrisome than it would have been. Fortunately were only a couple of hours away.
Anyway, rambling now, but thanks again.
