It’s a tough call. I worked with two men. One was young with a young family. The other man was in his late ‘60s.
They were both diagnosed with colon cancer. The disease followed the same course in both.
Understandably, the young man when all out for chemo, etc.
The older man opted for comfort and no chemo.
They died within weeks of each other.
On the other hand, a friend had a malignant tumor in his heart. Chemo and radiation destroyed the tumor, and he fully recovered, but what a long gruesome trial!!!
My own mother lived with untreated colon cancer for more than 10 years. She lived to 82.
Educating ourselves to make informed decisions is essential.
I liked your answer the best... thanks.
