[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were kind of thoughtless for both making light of her moms diagnosis and for dropping her when she called you out on it. [/quote]
How was OP making light of friend's mom's diagnosis?[/quote]

By implying that since it’s treatable it’s not such a crisis and doing so when this person was clearly in crisis. [/quote]

Doctors are planning chemo and radiation. Obviously treatable. Survivable long term? No. Immunotherapy has shown to help substantially, if eligible. I merely suggested she ask the oncologist today since it’s a planning session[/quote]

Wow.  Oncologists prescribe that even when there is zero hope.  Ask me how I know...

Immunotherapy does not work on many types of lung cancers.  There are different kinds, btw.[/quote]

And many policies often decline coverage, [b]particularly in elderly. [/b] [/quote]

As they should. Your body needs to be in good shape to withstand certain treatments. The worst thing for an elderly patient is to spend their remaining time too sick to do anything but be sick. Cancer treatment can be fatal. We forget that.[/quote]

Immunotherapy can actually be kinder to a body than chemo in a lot of cases. Of course whether she’s even eligible is something to ask about

I have 91 year old friend and colleague just diagnosed with breast cancer. The oncologist did 6 months of radiation because she’s a young 91. Still works, no memory issues, etc   Insurance paid. My own grandmother had a pacemaker replaced at 99 because she was a young 99. Insurance paid.

So much speculation here!
