Andi, I am so sorry to hear your doctors have run out of effective drugs. I am glad you are at peace with your decision and are not in pain. I hope that will continue. I think when we know where we are going, the hardest part is leaving our family behind. Knowing we will meet again gives peace, but still heartache. I am praying for you and your family, and your sister-in-law. God can still do miracles but sometimes He takes us another direction. Either way, know that He is with you.
God bless you.
