>> my mom had one at 86, the doc asked her what she did in her live. Often, people of that age make sensible decisions in this respect. My mom had cancer, was treated with chemo for a few years which undoubtedly prolonged her life, but her oncologist wanted to send her for radiation therapy. She made the decision that she had lived a good life, if she could have another year or so without additional treatment, she'd rather just do that. And that last year was a great year for her. When I talked about it with her doctor, he said to me, "You know, sometimes people just get tired". I think that was a very good way of putting it.
