At 97, he might not make it through the treatment.
At 97, I’m not sure I would put myself through treatment. That’s a great run. I’d rather have fewer quality days than more days, but suckier due to chemo sickness. At at stage 4, likely the same outcome.
I was thinking the same thing.
I remember when my brother in law was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer (non-smoker) and they gave him a year at the most. He said why undergo these treatments that will make a person feel horrible when he would rather enjoy his last days with family and close friends. He lived just three months after the diagnosis. No previous symptoms either.
