[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother had mouth and neck cancer in her mid 70s and chose not to have the operation or anything other than palliative care - pain killers basically. Originally she was told in August 2017 she would live through that winter Holiday season but wouldn't make it to the 2018 Holidays. She lived until the end of Dec. 2020. [/quote] My dad had chemo for throat cancer at 70. It was brutal and he lost so much weight (almost impossible to eat, food tastes like ash) and was so frail they almost had to stop it twice due to low blood counts. But two years later he’s very healthy for his age and has a full and active life. He doesn’t regret it but doesn’t minimize the pain and trauma he underwent. I think it’s s very tough decision and very personal obviously. [/quote]
