However, there is always the remote possibility that you might be developing an affliction that needs to be addressed. The neurologist can test you and, based on his findings, advise you. My husband is very ill with pancreatic cancer and requires a gastric tube for feeding and medication. We need some encouragement. He says he doesn't want to live this way.
Hope is as valuable as medicine and surgery in coping with serious illness.
However, from your brief description, I'd have to conclude that your husband is nearing the last stage of a terminal disease. I believe his doctors owe you both an honest and straightforward appraisal of your husband's condition, its treatment, the likelihood of recovery and methods of handling his health problems. Perhaps more can be done to preserve the quality of his life, such as radiation and chemotherapy. On the other hand, it may be time for him to surrender and request a comfort-only approach, using appropriate drugs to reduce his discomfort and fear. Although many doctors may feel awkward with this option, our primary concern must be for the patient's welfare.
