Most physicians that I have talked about all agree that quality of life is more important than the quantity in this types of cases. Every treatment of late stage cancer is very invasive and rarely successful. If he wants to spend a month as healthy as possible with his widow to be instead of two vomiting and feeling miserable that is his choice and the correct one in my opinion.

There are few things that prolong life, most of them prolong the suffering and increase the emotional drain on the loved ones.

I wish him to make the most of what he has left.
