Mason, we must have a difficult conversation about what is next.
There is nothing to talk about! We will continue treatment.

Before we move forward, let's take a breath. Mason, what matters most to you?

Both of your reactions are understandable. I think it's best we discuss all options here.
James, no. We need to listen to dad. It's not giving up, it's understanding a change in dad's journey.

We can continue aggressive treatment, which will continue to be uncomfortable. Our last option is to keep you comfortable, Mason. Picking this will prioritize quality of life over quantity of life.
Respectfully, Dr. Johnson, I don't want to be spend the rest of my life in pain. I just want to spend what I have left with my family and enjoy the moments.

I've thought long and hard about this. It took a long time for me to come to this decision. I want to be comfortable. I want to choose comfort focused care.

James and Angela, please take this time to listen to what your dad wants. It may be hard to hear but it's important to listen.
Dad if we stop treatment, we are giving up. You are giving up!
Dad, I don't want you to make the wrong decision.
Moving forward, we will honor dad's wishes and provide comfort-based care.
