[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My aunt is dying from HPV cancer right now. It showed up as throat/mouth cancer almost two years ago. She's a MAGA/MAHA type who thought chemo was poison and did "alternative" therapies for a while. Had the vaccine been an option, I'm betting she wouldn't have gotten it.

This is a totally preventable cancer for our kids' generations. I can't imagine choosing to not vaccinate one's child against HPV knowing that there is a chance your kid may end up being the one who gets cervical or other cancers due to having HPV (by the way, most adults do get the HPV virus at some point in their life, there are just a small number of people for whom that infection becomes cancer later in life. Why take the risk???)[/quote]

She isn’t wrong.  Chemo is poison. We just hope it kills the cancer, before it or the cancer kills you.  But that often doesn’t happen.  I’ve seen countless people suffer terribly from chemo, which only proved to worsen and prolong their suffering and give them a miserable last months/weeks of life.  That doesn’t mean it can’t sometimes cure people and ultimately help- but I completely understand why some would forgo it. Don’t be so judgmental [/quote]

Stupid health care decisions affect us all, in the form of higher expenditures for Medicare and insurance premiums. [/quote]

What makes it stupid to deny chemo? I have seen many people with cancer suffer in unimaginable ways as a result of chemo.  It definitely depends on your individual situation: type of cancer, how advanced, prognosis.  There are a some cancers, that if I got, I would not do chemo and just accept my prognosis and live the best I can with the time left. [/quote]
