Uh, wow. Have you ever known anyone who went through chemo? The process can be fucking awful depending on what type of cancer you have and what they're giving you, and a lot of times chemo makes the person feel sicker than the cancer does while it's working on it.

If I had cancer and it was uncurable and had to go through that? I don't know if I'd bother. You don't know why he didn't want that kind of medical treatment. Don't immediately assume it's because he's a zomg acupuncture fanatic or something.

Seriously, this. How fucking rude do you have to be to make judgments on something as personal as someone's health? You have no idea what his circumstances were, shut the fuck up.

MTE, and also, even when chemo does "cure" your cancer, the cure rate that is reported is sometimes for the 1 year mortality rate. Once you look beyond 1 year, to 5 years and beyond, the picture is far more grim. To suffer to the point of wishing for death for a period of months might not be worth it, in one person's mind, for the mere chance of gaining a chance at a prolonged life. It's a personal choice. I have seen patients I thought for sure were going to succumb to their cancer recover with chemo, and I have seen others suffer for months and then die. The choice to go ahead with chemo is a brave one, and the choice to say no is equally brave.

I agree with both of these. You can't decide for another person what is the better answer. I say quality of quantity, some may want to cling as long as possible. Give me the good drugs, the ones that help with pain and allow me to get as much fun out of my remaining time as possible.

My mom was diagnosed with grade III astrocytoma about a year ago. There is no cure, but chemo and radiation can extend your lifespan, which after a lot of consideration, my mom decided to go for.

All the chemo and radiation did was make her sick, causing her to be horribly ill for the few short months we had with her before the cancer took over and she stopped being herself and forgot how to swallow food. Her doctor told us she'd live for 3-5 years with chemo and radiation. She died less than 6 months after treatment.

Before my mom got sick, I would have definitely opted for chemo or radiation to extend my life if I had cancer that was terminal - I was all for my mom getting it when the offer was presented. Now, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

I wanted to send my parents on vacation after the treatment, but by the time the effects of the chemo and radiation had worn off, my mom's cancer was so advanced that she couldn't walk properly or understand language.
