He’s late 70s but also has Parkinson’s Stage 4 and has AFib. He’s had to have his heart shocked back into rhythm several times.

A lot more likely to die from the heart issues than the cancer

Sure sounds like a candidate for nonsurgical therapy.

Sounds like they’re just fleecing his insurance for all it will pay.

Hope and pray for peace and plenty of quality time with him until he goes.

If this is the case, I’d focus on more palliative care and make his next year or so more pleasant. A sick late 70s doing any therapy like this will make him live slightly longer at much worse health

If I had all those other illnesses I would not do treatments for cancer. That’s just me
