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

I just lost someone very close to me... they found out they had cancer by chance after a fall bruised some ribs. They were dead within a year and a half after diagnosis and treatment.

If he would have never found out and did treatment, he'd still be alive today no doubt.

Yes he would still get sick in the end, but he had 5 good years left. The treatment aged him over night it seemed.
