Glioblastoma, damn. I personally knew far too many people killed by that.

Yeah. It’s a fucking son of a bitch cancer. Together with Pancreastumors the ones I am most afraid of.

When I had my paramedic traning one of my instructors got one. He waited till he had the first seizure - and then drove into the next town so the ambulance crew finding him would not be “one of his own”, went into the woods, called the cops to tell them what he way about to do and, well, “self removed” the whold thing with a 9mm to the head.

…little did he know I was send over that day to cover for someond who got sick. …Nevertheless I would do the same in his situation.

People want to go out with at least some dignity. Our medical system needs to fucking understand that.
