i’ve been following Jake’s story since one of his posts was here on HN a few months ago. Both him and his wife are excellent writers. I cannot emphasize enough how horrified I am reading every word. What an utterly ghastly experience. I watched my uncle die from cancer as well. I am all too familiar with how this (usually) goes in the end stages.

good luck, jake. may your days be filled with appreciation and love and tranquility.
