1st--I'm going to disagree. While Alzheimer's is -- obviously -- horrible, horrible, horrible, I think it's harder on the caregivers than on the dying individual. Maybe I don't know -- I have no personal experience with that topic............................................
2nd--Interesting to note that -- looking over the answers -- overall, we seem to be more afraid of things that aren't actually likely to happen. Our real fears should be cancer and heart disease.
1st bold -- IMO you are correct. I HAD the years of experience being with FIL as he progressed and finally died 2 months post pancreatic cancer diagnosis. At the end he was unaware of the Alzheimer's and Pancreatic Cancer but suffered immensely as did family members, only psychologically not physically.
2nd bold -- I HAVE cancer and am living with it as a LIVE-IVORE not survivor while it might be killing me. I have received my treatment protocol that is experimental and the first guy to be trying this treatment. I have no fear of "what might come" or "my eventual demise." Having bone metastasis of my cancer is often the progression direction but can also include organ involvement. Next week I have a male mammogram. My wife is VERY INTERESTED in the HOW??? me too!!!
