I just saw a study that said that starting chemo with someone in the condition like Mr. Carter is in won't help and will just deteriorate his quality of life. He is in his 90’s he should enjoy what time he may have with his family.

I believe it. Why not just manage the pain and let him pass on with dignity...

My friend’s dad passed away last year from pancreatic cancer. He told me that chemo just made his dad’s life “a little bit longer and a whole lot more miserable”.
