Since I went through the small cell lung cancer process with my late wife 20 years ago, I appreciate what you are handling at the moment. The decision-making along the way is no picnic.
Regarding Argentino, you can understand why I think his multiple declarations on this forum that my wife committed suicide is something that I cannot tolerate or blow off. Why someone would declare something like that is beyond me. He obviously had no information, so why he would put that in print multiple times is bizarre. It tells you the depths to which he sinks that have zero to do with topics debated on this and other forums.
I wish you the best. When someone you love goes through this and you come out the other side, reality shimmers a bit as you are jolted out of your usual banal perspectives and priorities. Be careful after the fact, as it's established that your personal health risks peak in the months immediately after the loss of a loved one.
