when she decided not to undergo treatment that would likely have extended her life for 'only' 9 months to a year. she raised a valid question - what quality of life could she have during that year? and how hard would it have been on Sally and Henry, et al to watch her demise during that time? w/that i can understand her desire to just let the disease run its course w/o drastic intervention.

maybe she's selfish for deciding not to have the treatment. and maybe her family is selfish for wanting her to endure that treatment.

since she's the one dying i think the family should put their desires aside and focus on her. but that's easily said when i don't have any kids or spouse.
