Reply #42: I don't have as much faith in doctors as you [View All]

Though these are at least in Canada and therefore probably don't have any profit motive involved in their recommendation, so that might change things. But US doctors tried to convince my 82 year old grandfather with advanced lung cancer that had already begun spreading to try radiation and chemo. I and the rest of my family were all very happy that he refused and instead focused on living as best he could in his remaining time.


I also understand both sides, and I can see where many would say that an 11 year old really doesn't have the maturity to deal with this. But that's the typical 11 year old, not one who has already battled cancer and is losing again. It's certainly a difficult and incredibly sad situation all around. :(
