So sorry to both of you for your losses.
My father pleaded for chemo, but doctors refused to give it to him. When we lost him to cancer, I decided that, if I ever was diagnosed, I’d try alternative treatments. Well, I was diagnosed. And the very first treatments I checked into were alternative treatments. In the end, I opted for chemo. There are many people who survive chemo and go on for many more years.
I’m not saying chemo is the only way. I’m not even saying it’s the best way. I’m just saying, don’t rule it out if you’re ever in the same position.
I hope neither of you is ever in that position. Hopefully this latest research will give us all a new way to fight it. Again, my deepest sympathies to you both.
I wish my dad never got chemo....then he might not have gotten the pneumonia from his weakened system. He had cancer in the lining between his bladder and prostate. There were spots in his abdomen and neck lymph nodes. The last scan he had 3 weeks prior to death showed the cancer hadn’t spread from the May scan. My dad was 81 years old and was a health nut. Riding bike, hiking, and swimming every day. We are still in shock.
