Very sorry to hear of your loss. As a cancer survivor, I'd say Ricky was blessed. He was spared the false hope and physical ordeal that would have likely transpired. I'm cancer free, and have been for years, but believe me when I say that I thought about these things ... a lot. There's a growing awareness among patients and physicians that "going the last mile" is often made more difficult rather then less by well-meaning but futile measures when the true prognosis is grave.
