If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns.

Fear of death makes you gullible to accept treatment when it wouldn't have been the best outcome for you. Some cancer treatments prolong your life very little compared to the time you'll spend in a hospital, and instead of living 2 weeks longer after 6 painful months in the hospital, some people could have been in palliative care among their loved ones for 6 months and die. It is easy to regret agreeing to hospitalization at the end of your life.

Yeah, that is also one factor to account for possibly.

Don't forget wringing your bank account dry so there's nothing left for your family after you go!

I will always forget some parts of the world are crazy like that.
