Thread: Paul Daniels returns home for his final days

an untreatable brain tumour is one of the crueller ends devised for us humans.

as the tumour spreads it affects the various control centres of the brain in a seemingly random and unpredictable progression until the end eventually comes.

my thai brother in law was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, gbm, and it took 18months to finish him off, he was only 54 and despite the valiant efforts of the medics it was awful to watch his terror and despair as the deteriorations progressed from speech slurring to death, taking in paralysis, double incontinence, blindness, loss of speech and eventual coma along the way.

it was a blessing when he finally stopped breathing.

if ever there was a case for assisted suicide, then untreatable malignant brain tumours would be it.

i hope paul daniels does not suffer too much and the end comes quick, both for his sake and the familys sake.

any doctor worth his salt would quietly leave a bottle of morphine by the bedside.
