I would have thought the doctors would have expored multiple options with her. Do you have reason to believe that wouldn't be the case?
Just last week there was news of a treatment where the immune system is trained to this or that....
Either most of that is bullshit or this Lady just didn't try enough. I guess some people just don't want to fight until the end. Not that it's bad, it's just not me. I'm fighting until the end. Modern medicine is also not really available for everyone if they can't pay for the medicine or treatment or if the treatment is not allowed yet on people. Maybe if more cancer survivors talked about their ordeal in a scientific manner rather than some other non useful way, we could all learn more about what we should do. Like for example, when should one just give up.
Man, you expect to see shitty, ignorant takes online, but this one needs to win a prize.
"Maybe she should just decide to not have incurable cancer. 🤷♂️"
Calling cancer a skill issue is not something I expected to see today.
I love that this person also starts talking about colon issues and how yoghurt can cure it, while posting in a thread about a lady who has breast cancer. There are levels to stupidity. Some levels are so stupid, it is hard to fathom.
The immuno treatments have been around for decades.
