The conversations were mostly about the treatments for pancreatic cancer. Again since we were both in the medical field we understood them. He did do one treatment that would supposedly extend your life, but it was the usual of some remission but a month later the cancer continued to progress. During the treatment your quality of life is worse. So he ended all of them. The pain was horrible and eventually he went off into a morphine haze to death.
Other than the medical stuff we did have some discussion of a YouTube interview that I had sent him. There was a study done showing that those very close to death, while awake and conscious would see "visions" of previously deceased family or friends reassuring them that there was nothing to fear. We discussed this several times in his last month, but he never saw any visions.
Maybe those visions only appear if you have some amount of faith in the afterlife or something that your dead relatives still live in a different form like a ghost or sm.
You are probably correct.
