AT the end of my teather

Boychris

it was bad enough having suffered a major stroke, which a career was lost, I spent years in a wheelchair, I now have severe spinal stenosis which is now cutting off the feeling in my legs,
I also have COPD, and this cold virus going around I just caught it, then at the insult to injury I have been suffering pain and soreness in my mouth for months, after seeking advice I have been diagnosed, with cancer, shore its the pits. now I am wondering at the age of 63, is it all worth, 
I live on morphine for the pain, all i want to do is curl up and just go to sleep. I cannot see any purpose in having cancer treatment, They have said that having  an operation is out  of the question, i have no one to vent my feelings so  i  have put it on here sorry if i have made  you folks feel miserable
