Death of a Man by Wertenbaker(?)

i think I spelled the authors name wrong. Anyways it's a book from the mid 20th century written by the wife of a journalist who has colon or intestinal cancer.
>Charles Wertenbaker, an expat in France, feels sick all the time
>Goes to the states to see his doctor
>Doc says you've got the big C
>They go in and discover that he's pretty much terminal and the most they can do is a bunch of surgery to prolong his life.
>Charles says "fuck that i'm dying in my house, with my family, fuck dying in a hospital"
>He and his wife go home with a suitcase full of morphine to help it all go smoother
>Que series of heartbraking moments of this wife having to watch her husband deteriorate by his own hand pretty much. Shitting himself, howling in pain, not sleeping, not eating.
>He keeps up face for his kids
>Spends a lot of time in the old lighthouse on his property writing about whats going on (these diary pages are spliced into the wife's account)
>Finally ol Charlie says it's time, he can't take anymore
>Wife holds his hand and injects him with a lethal dose of morphine to put him down.

One of the best non-fictions I've ever read. I lost the book and I can't find it anywhere.

my writing actually

I'm writing a novella written in a future English. So there's many colloquialisms, spelling, grammar, et cetera changes, with influences from other languages like future Chinese, but it's still Latin script and resembles today English somewhat.

Thanks; stealing that idea.
