I do wish I had known about CS and DMSO for my mother in her last years, but with her ultra-conventional medicine mindset and fear of anything alternative, she perhaps would have refused it anyway.

The scenario you describe Bob, may be more common in larger cities? Here, where doctors get to know their patients better, and are apt to run into them or their families at the grocery store, there is still a bit more of a more compassionate attitude. When my mother was in hospital the final time, her doctor told me she had been really lucky to stay out of the hospital for 3 years (the gap to her last hospitilization). The ER doctor had seen her several times before. The on-call doctor filling in for her regular doctor a couple of days had seen her before. All were well familiar with her and her case. At the end when there was a choice to be made re heroic measures, her doctors all told me honestly what might or would certainly happen if we went there, and so I opted not to do any of those things, to stop having x-rays, done, to remove fluids, etc so as not to prolong suffering. I have frequently heard of people in large cities having these options refused them even when there is a health care power of atty, and a do not use heroic measures legal document in place. Sometimes those are not honored. In this case everyone was ok with it. Except for my brother, who stormed in from California (a day late) and started harrassing the nurses and doctors and me, to put her in intensivie care, put her on breathing machine, etc. Since if any of that had been done, she would simply have suffered far longer, I did not agree. She was kept sedated with morphine, and died peacefully. My brother still tells everyone I killed "his" mother. Of course he would not accept the legal power of atty, nor was he going to stick around and take care of what was left, if any of those last extreme measures had been done............he did however, contact me almost 3 years after her death to see if there was any remaining money from her tiny savings.

Marmar - This is precisely what the medical profession does when someone is terminally ill in their care... they make as much money as they can off of the person before they die. They did the same with my mother who passed away from ovarian cancer complications several years ago.... they conduct useless procedures and prescribe dangerous medications knowing full well all is lost. Allopathic medicine, especially oncology, is a criminal enterprise IMO.... they scare families into thinking that only "their" way will work and that any other modality is dangerous and useless. My mother, God rest her soul, died from hepatic coma due to liver failure from the experimental chemotherapy they were giving her. If I could have I would have sued for malpractice but my mother and father signed away their rights before any therapy began. I tried in vain to use alternative medicine but my mother wouldn't have it and the oncologist in charge of her case threatened me with jail if I intervened. That baxtard should have been brought up on murder charges ... this sort of thing goes on thousands of times a day across the country. Iatragenic disease is the third leading cause of death in this country.... what does that tell y
