Not to sound insensitive, but if she was actively choosing to not go through chemo, what are the other options? It seems like the only options as you presented them were to go through chemo a second time, take this medication that may it may not work, or get her affairs in order and enjoy the last days of her life. I’ve seen other cancer treatments that aren’t chemo make it clear that the treatment isn’t chemo to accelerate adoption.

In principle, there were many options: surgery, radiotherapy, chemo, immunotherapy and combinations. Depending on the type and size of the cancer chances for recovery are excellent. My mother had breast cancer a few years before which was treated with chemo. Of course she wasn’t looking forward to repeating that nasty experience. She thought it was her only option, so she downplayed it, delayed tests, was super subsceptible to misinformation and waved her family’s concern away. So effectively the only option was to watch her rapidly deteriorate down the path to certain death, telling us how Ivermectin’s effect on cancer was scientifically proven and that Jesus will save her. Sometimes I ask myself if it was just the cancer, or was it also misinformation and fake news that killed her. And how many lives is it taking?
