Marv Taking Charge: A Story of Bold Love and Courage Roelofs Lois Hoitenga
Lois Roelofs always knew that Marv, her husband of fifty-five years, had strong convictions. She tells their story in a mix of personal notes, family and friend emails, and public blog posts written during Marv's illness and her first months as a widow. So when he was diagnosed with "very aggressive" small cell lung cancer, with a few weeks to a few months to live, she accepted that he wanted to die on his own terms--refuse chemo, choose quality of life over quantity, and die at home.
Family, friends, and readers of Lois's blog in real time confirmed interest in the topic of refusing treatment. At the time, she could find no personal accounts of refusing treatment and living with the resultant uncertainty.Lois wrote this book to honor her husband Marv's request to tell the story of their experience when he chose to refuse treatment for a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer.
