My post was in reply to another poster that equated chemotherapy to "medieval bloodletting" and labeled it as "evil".
Childhood Hodgkins disease (not adult Hodgkins disease as your spouse had) has an over 90% remission rate as opposed to a 100% mortality rate in 1906.
Whether or not the state should have forced chemotherapy on this child is one issue.
Claiming that chemotherapy is "evil" and equivalent to "medieval bloodletting" is a totally separate issue.

Given a choice of whether or not you puke your guts outs for a few months, would you rather spend the next 15 years living with your wife, children or grandchildren or would you rather have it been 15 years since your wife, children and grandchildren planted you in a six foot deep grave?

I'm a factory worker living paycheck to paycheck and I drive a Mercedes. But I'm frugal and it's a 1978 Mercedes.
