Sorry for your loss bro. Man it’s tough to watch someone go through cancer. I had a friend who refused to do chemo and he just wasted away in one of his chairs in his living room. I visited him regularly, but the quality of life people tolerate for a chance at a “cure” isn’t worth it. I’ve heard countless people say if they had it to do over, they would have never bothered with chemo and just enjoyed the rest of their days without all the garbage they went through.
I agree...he and i discussed it in march 2017. I brought him out to the beach and he spent 3 weeks just hangin out.
He did 1 round radiation 3 types of chemo after he left the beach he had a final round of chemo and none of it did anything.
He stopped treatments and actually seemed to be doing better but cancer is a weird thing.
At a cellular leve initially i believe any of it can be eradicated caught early enough but at a rate of 2 cells becoming 4, 4 become 16, 16 become 256 and so on....there comes a tipping point where the disease is so prolific its unstoppable.
Thats where you see the massive weight loss and eventual death.
He was eating had a great appetite 3000 plus cals a day that last month.
Yet he lost 9 to 12 lbs a week.
There was no nutrient uptake by his body...
He was ready to go...thurs. morning before he passed on thurs night/fri mornin he had a huge breakfast visited with my wife a couple hours...i took her home at 11 then went back at 3pm.
Called my wife said i was staying over night....that fast his bp had dropped from normal to 70 over 40.
It happened very fast yet slow...he was in n out but not in pain.
Having seen alot of traumatic deaths this seemed really surreal to me.
