Bill. My cousin, same age as me, is going through the same dilemma as you. He has an inoperable esophageal tumour. They have done everything they can for him. The radiation almost killed him. It’s a waiting game for him now. He thought long and hard and has MAID procedures approved and in place. He was raised in a devout Catholic family and he didn’t make this decision easily. He and I discussed this and I support him fully.
If my cancer had metastasized and spread to major organs I would do the same. Mine didn’t but the chemo and radiation has had a significant permanent impact on my body. I’m still suffering from the effects. I’m 74 and should it reoccur, I highly doubt I’d subject myself to more treatment.
My advice, if you choose MAID, is to return and go through the process in Canada. I don’t know if it’s achievable in the DR. I’m sorry to hear about medical issue and I wish you the best choosing what you consider to be the proper road for you. A very personal decision and yours alone.
