I am sure people are trying to be helpful, but many times they are not. You have to do what you think is best and what is available to you. As a care taker I already have enough enough guilt and stress trying plot a course of action. It is all ways "Have you tired? What if? There is a place in (Blank) that can cure her" Have you tried? You should have went to,,," Very seldom do any of these well meaning people know the scope and full details of the issue that you are addressing.
Last April my wife was given 6 months to live. In addition to her Liver Cancer she had a large tumour blocking her rectum. By the grace of God and the good doctors at Sacred Heart, her tumour is gone and today she will drive herself to visit her sister across town. She is progressing better than anyone had predicted. Would she better better off if we had went somewhere else? Who know? I damn sure dont.
When your wife is lying a bed, very sick and barely clinging to life, your options are limited. You do what you have to do.
Dont be too quick to dismiss all your local options as quackery...
I admire your care for your wife. You answer to no one as you both make the best decisions afforded to you at the time. So happy to hear she is progressing well. I hope she enjoys her outing today. Take care.
