A Persons Decision To Refuse Dialysis

My grandmother was 85 when she was told she had to go on dialysis, or she would only have 2 weeks to live. They called it right, she was dead in 2 weeks. My father will be 90 in March and they told him he might need to go on dialysis. He also denied the treatment.

I can understand at a certain age you don't want to go through this, but what if you are a young adult? On top of that, you are told you only have a few months to be here.

What do you say to this person who doesn't want treatment? Have you ever been in this situation? Diane (Team Member)
