I notice that he's going by Abraham now.

I think he would be better off searching the internet for alternative treatments, rather than using a Mexican clinic which always seem to do nothing more than relieve people of their money as they face a certain death. I saw Abraham on TV, and he said he'd rather die than go through chemo again. A lot of people talk that way until they are actually near death.

I saw he and his parents on TV also. He was much better spoken than his parents and was emphatic about not having more chemo but like you say, when the end is near he might feel differently.

Have a relative in Eastern OR that knew a non resident ranch owner who was a Dr and she had one of those clinics in Mexico. Had this relative convinced it was the answer for cancer treatment. She died a little over two years ago of cancer. Guess it only worked for her patients.

"I notice that he's going by Abraham now."

A brother of mine named one of his kids Loam (no, not Loma, dirt). He named another one Yarrow Moon (loco weed). I now have a grand niece named Raven (euphemism for crow or black bird).

On another thread about this I told about a friend (28 years old) who died of this same kind of cancer. Actually, she died of chemotherapy, not the cancer, and it was not a good way to die. I vowed at that time never, ever to go for chemo. Maybe surgery, maybe even radiation if it had a good track record, but never chemo. I had another friend who went through horrible times with chemo, but succumbed to cancer anyway.

I don't see why families can't make these kinds of decisions themselves. Talk about the nanny state.
