If your cat/dog is unwell you take it to the vet.
If you're unwell you go to see the doc.
In both case you will have tests to find the problem.
The vet will say The cat/dog has incurable cancer " The animal is in pain he/she would be best put to sleep". As hard as it is we agree and go home and cry bucket loads.
My Father died from pancreas cancer. He really suffered great pain to die. Twice a day he was given morphine. It was not enough. When he died he was all skin and bone. Had he been a dog no such suffering would have occurred
Just a thought..

Part of me agrees if the person diagnosed terminal expresses those views, my husband never did, savoured every last moment with us, palliative care meant his pain was an absolute minimum.

Why would you upset anybody mic? If everybody is honest it must be something we've all thought about at some time or another. I've been fortunate in that the question has never arisen in the family but what would I do if it did? I just don't know I like to think I could say the word and let them go, but I just don't know.
micmak your experience sounds horrific and certainly appears your father's pain was not properly controlled, no one is disagreeing with you as such, if I had been asked to 'help', I may well have considered it, however as said large doses of heavy morphine usually brings an end to suffering in most terminal cancer patients.
