I've went through it. Years later and it's still tough. I watched my father breathe his last breath. That doesn't really leave your mind.
**** cancer.

truly fearless. doing what you want to do with the time you have is all we can really ask for.
real talk though, (knock on wood) i would never want to be a burden for those who care about me.

I don't wish this on anyone, my mom passed last February, in a hospice, and it truly was sad, so if this lady has a chance to go in her own terms in some way then good. Cancer hardly loses, my mom had metastatic cancer and by the time she went in on a Monday she was in a hospice Saturday and she was "home" Sunday morning. Hasn't been, nor will it ever be the same again.

Didn't know this was a thread before I made the other one. I shared my story in a few threads. Mom has Stage 4 cancer, still doing chemo, takes a dozen pills a day, face and stomach bloated, memory loss, can't walk without breathing like she has asthma after 10 steps and after all that I look at her like nothing is wrong. She doesn't complain about pain or how she feels about dying. All she wants me to do is buy her talenti ice cream without telling her to watch her weight 
I'm saying all of this to say I could understand why someone would do this. There has been times when I asked God to either take my mother or cure her because this middle ground is way too painful as a son to watch. From what I read this woman doesn't have children? I think her decision would be different if she did, because I know my mom would of refused treatment a long time ago if she didn't have children.
For everybody who has cancer and knows someone close to them with cancer, I wholeheartedly feel for you .. this illness changes lives overnight and never gives it back.

The wife and I read this article the other day, watched her video interview, legit one of the most surreal things I've watched, this woman is talking and we all know she's gonna die, I can't even begin to comprehend the thoughts going through her head...I assume the hardest part was acceptance and it seems at this point she's passed it or so she thinks...
What I would say is, coming from a medical employee, I agree that EVERY state should legalized te idea of assisted suicide for terminally diagnosed patients, this is their life and their right!...it's very sad that hospitals and pharmaceutical companies rather stretch the pain and suffering of someone who will die no matter what simply to bank on thousands and sometimes millions in medical expenses...it's a blatant disregard for patient care and quality of life.

Got linked here by the other thread.
If you want to kill yourself for these reasons I really don't see the need to promote it/share your story.

Read bruh...
She's doing it to spread awareness and change the laws across the rest of the states, she had to move from California to Oregon, most people don't have the financial means to move to another state TO DIE...I completely side with her 100% and what she's doing, assisted suicide should be every Americans right, if the states where is illegal were doing it with the patient in mind I wouldn't be against it, but the only reason why is illegal, is solely because of all the money that's made off oncology and dragging out the lives of terminally ill patients through chemo and meds, providing families with false hope, bruh is legit depressing to witness day to day, the struggle to survive is worthless once you are terminal....she has a brain tumor, given 6 months to live I guarantee you if she went te length of the 6 months, at least 4 of those months will be spent with dementia and her family cleaning up to her, she won't be herself anymore and her family will just see her suffer...at least at this point she can still leave them with a good lasting memory, you ask me this woman is EXTREMELY brave to take the wheel and not let cancer destroy the last days of her life...this **** nearly brings me to tears

My whole thing is it's common sense and the laws are irrelevant. If you wanna kill yourself you're gonna kill yourself. Especially if you're able bodied and can do it on your own. This whole the state allowing you to die is bull ****. You don't need to announce it. If you aint telling anybody, just plan your date and OD on some heart medication.
Highly doubt her story will change the laws. If anything it'll just bring more ppl against it out the woodwork. I'm well aware of the ppl voted in to powers of position will react to a situation like this.
Liked that you assumed that I didn't read though.

Its a terrible story and I feel bad for her.
She got a right to do what she chooses with herself and if that's her choice she got a right to it.
However I can't get down with calling her a hero like how some people have labeled her.

You also do know a legal assisted medicated suicide is a lot more controlled, nah but by your logic is best if your fam sees you OverDose on some "stuff" and witness you start foaming out your mouth and ****, that's such a pretty way for your family to see you go...the medication they give you is not something you find over the counter and take your chances on it killing you or not, IT WILL KILL YOU, peacefully put you to sleep, I see you checked in common sense before posting.

She's stil able bodied. She doesn't need assistance from her family. The whole point is that she's going out on her terms before she can't make decisions for herself.
I didn't say it was a cry for attention but again you just seem to be reaching and assuming things to be contrary to my posts. Saying something doesn't need to be promoted or shared like this doesn't in turn mean I was saying she's crying for attention
Instead of being so damn emotional and quick to react calm down.If a person is planning to take their life for these reasons why even pretend like there's any authority that can tell them to do otherwise?
I'm sure you if educated yourself on this you wouldn't talk so flippantly about it like OD on some "stuff" and family seeing you foam at the mouth.
If you look it up, there's plenty ways to commit suicide if you're gonna go with medication.

I asked it in the other thread but this thread is more active.
If we call her a 'hero' and 'courageous' that is a total slap in the face to anyone who's had cancer or any other serious illness and fought it until the very end.
If we're calling his lady courageous, then by that same logic, the 9-11 hijackers were courageous because they were willing to die for a cause they believed in. You can't have it both ways with that courageous label.
