So that’s what it must be called in WA state. ORhas something similar too, I’m sure you could find them on the internet.

To complete my thread I got a text the day after thanksgiving that he’d done the procedure the previous day. I was t surprised, I figured he’d do it soon, but when I left from my visit he seemed in pretty good spirits. But he’d told me at the beginning of the week he’d been approved for a new chemo treatment. Then he told me he wasn’t going to do it. I knew then he was going to pull the plug.
