Surgery to remove part of an organ, followed by chemotherapy gave my mother a few more years of life. Are you suggesting there is some other alternative, currently accepted and understood, that would've worked better? Because while those side effects are terrible they are usually more temporary than the extension of life that they afford people. Face the question, would you rather chemo for a couple months and then live a couple years, or die in a couple weeks?
