6. My good friend died of lung cancer
It was 18 months from diagnosis to death. She had surgery to remove a lobe of her lung. The surgery was horrible. She was a strong woman but really suffered. Treatment was also horrible. She went into a brief remission then wham, back came the cancer with a vengeance. She refused further treatment and was taken to Hospice. At first, when I visited her she was lucid and eating. Then she got weaker and less able to speak. She was heavily sedated and finally, after a few weeks, drifted away. I do not wish this death on anyone.
