Good talk. I have an acquaintance (White male, in his late 50s) here in the US who had most of his intestines removed due to NETs. They went in twice and took some intestine out both times. He has about 7 feet of intestine left. He feeds liquid nutrients through a tube forever and can't hold down regular food when he tries.. He tries to pretend everything is fine, drives his car places, visits friends, does shopping, etc. However, he staggers when he walks, occasionally falls,can't pick up and carry a gallon jug of water more than 5 feet without having to put it down, and gets very tired very easily and has to take many naps during the day. He has had to give up his home and move in with friends so someone is around to help him (although he often refuses it). The surgery and various treatments and chemo didn't get it all and some heart problems have also started. Add to that periodic infections requiring hospital stays around the site of the feed tube due to not following sanitary instructions and some kidney issues. Oh yes, constant pain. It has been about 2 years now and he describes himself as a slowly but steadily sinking ship and knows he is dying. So yes, as an observer, I would say quality of life is a valid consideration.
