Yeah; I have a really good friend who had cancer, and the chemo nearly killed her. When she was afraid her cancer was coming back, she straight up said she wasn't doing it again because it was so bad.

Yeah that's the thing chemo is an effective tool but it's not a panacea and I've known doctors that have flat out told patients that they would not recommend chemo in specific cases, especially terminal cases. If she was already terminal and far enough along chemo would have been just prolonging the inevitable and prolonging it in likely excruciating pain. So yeah, dunno enough about the story to judge the parents, but if the OP was true I think I would have heard about it on 4chan, god knows they bitched enough about people donating to that charity instead of "more deserving causes" for people that weren't dying.

but if it was terminal, then why would they think that some sparkly magic homeopathic cure would somehow work when other treatments wouldn't?

either it's curable or it's not, and if it's not curable, they are scamming people by trying to get donations for "treatment."

Desperation and ignorance can lead to foolish actions. It doesn't necessarily mean they were intentionally scamming people.

Yeah, my FIL's cancer came back and he's refused the chemo, choosing to die in his own way instead. It's hard on the rest of us, but you can't really fault the guy.

Agreed, especially with terminal cancer. I watched my step-dad go through chemo and made up my mind that I was not going to go through that if it was a matter of extending my life by a couple years. Most doctors, particularly oncologists, apparently make the same decision when diagnosed with cancer.
