a question about dying...

[yellowjacket]

Really more about blood count and at what point death comes...

Say someone is ate up w cancer ..like in brain, lungs, neck,abdomen...like teminal and estimated life left of weeks/ months.... Then that person starts bleeding internally and passing blood....to the point of blood count being down to 6.. then is admitted to hospital to get up to 10 is the goal.....

Well if that person is terminal w cancer and determines not to have a colonoscopy at hospital because already know they are dying,and even if they did have it performed had determined not to have surgery on what was found (if it turned out to be not cancer related) anyway...

Soooo...is this gonna be a repeated performance over and over again?..person loses so much blood, blood count drops, go to hospital for iron and epo(?)... Blood count comes back up, go home, lose blood, back to hospital, ect.....

Im assuming that at some point this person is going to become tired of the hassle and just wants to stay home and pass peacefully as possible...how can one expect that to play out? Is there a blood count number that is the point of death? And how will it end? Will person just get weaker and lose consiousnes? Or..?

Im sure someone on here can explain stuff to me in ways i can understand..thanx!
