Orders for chemo

The doctor has agreed to write the orders for chemo and will leave it up to Chris to say when he wants it. He is cleared from the pulmonologist's perspective and if it were not for the chemo, he would be ready to come home or go to rehab so he's going to have to make a decision tonight in terms of when he wants it.

She has said he is not a good candidate for chemo, however, he made it clear to her that he would rather die trying than not try at all so we are all on the same page. I told her that we have realistic expectations and that this could be a bad outcome but at least then we could say we tried. It certainly beats the other option which is letting Chris lie around worrying about the next time his lungs fail.
