End of Life Issues

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine the frustration and anger you must feel. One throwaway sentence from someone who repeated an old trope without thinking of your dad as an individual cost him many years of life and left you and your mother with so much grief.

This must happen all the time. My dad had his surgery 17 years ago but only because I pointed out to him that he had a very healthy lifestyle and was likely to beat the prostate cancer timeline if he took care of it instead of letting it do its thing like so many men are advised to do. I think it’s way too common for them to hear what that cardiologist said and just leave it alone; it’s so tragic when that advice isn’t tailored to the individual.

You may have saved a few lives by telling your dad’s story.
