First of all many thanks to those of you who offered plausible solutions to a final exit scenario. I have been in contact with a specific poster and no further suggestions are needed.

I cannot speak with certitude about even the approximate time/date of my passing. As a husband who receives Social Security benefits I find myself duty bound to provide for my family; I.will hold out as long as I can.

For those of you with kind words for my posts, please accept my gratitude to be shared equally with those who who don't like them but said nothing. So, I ain't gone yet and neither are my remaining posts. I've had a great life-there is no reason for tears.

make some oil and hold out till the pain is unbearable and just ain't worth it any longer

If you can hold out till your kids have completed Year 12, that would be great.

Your decision has been made, but I for one would try that hash oil. As GM said, you've got nothing to lose.

I notice that I didn't make your list of top Mods, but, nonetheless, you were always on my imaginary list of 'posters I'd most like to meet'. Maybe we still can.

Good to see you have found what you need.

This is for you

Your kids and their mom are eligible for usa ss.
Get the formalities done and they will have some security.

Registration of the kids as citizens born abroad has benefits if you are the biological father.

I wasn't going to post on your threads as i only know you through your posts but.... we must all face our own mortality and i would simply like to wish you well till you deem the time is right to leave us.
God speed and we will be thinking of you and i am sure your name and memory will live on.

No they are not. To qualify they need to be live in the states for a minimum of 5years and unless you have income other than SS they will not let you take them to the states. They do all they can to keep them from collecting SS otherwise that would be a great way to do it just keep having kids. They can be out of wed lock too, and collect fathers SS, so it would be great for us old geezers we'd have lot of "wives" and kids

Without sounding morbid what time frame we talking, days, weeks?

I quite frankly don't know. The first symptom was bloody urine which was diagnosed as a nonmalignant prostate, which indeed was accurate. Ó Further scans revealed kidney and gall bladder stones, enough for a gravel quarry and the 3rd scan revealed the malignant urinary bladder tumor. The usual time frame is 5 months. Since I've no idea when growth began I can't know how much is either elapsed or left.
