re: To fight or not to fight: Treatment w/ lower quality or none w/ shorter life

IMO the treatment was almost worse than the cancer for my dad. Probably the hardest thing he's ever gone through, even though he had a very tough life, but just once we thought he might be getting better, things turned for the worst and he passed. None of the doctors were much help, one was 6 months late on diagnosing him, the others all had different opinions and overall just seemed lazy.

I read a ton on the subject, including natural methods of treatment. It's really encouraging to know that their might be hope for better treatment one day. Radiation and chemo don't work for the majority of people and the cancer usually comes back. Cancer has become a huge industry and it's sad to say that profit maximization doesn't have much room for a cure.

I don't even donate money for cancer foundations, because only a small amount goes towards the study of metastasis, which is the most dangerous part of cancer.
