When it's metastasized throughout your entire body and your odds are comparable to lottery tickets treatment might not make as much sense. Also if you're 85 years old that's different than if you're 40.
In 1956 I had polio, I did not receive the Sauk vaccine, begged my folks and won, then lost and got polio, mother was told I'd never live thru the night, I made it, I was told I'd never walk again, I served 8 years in the Army.
Do I take vaccine shots available now? You bet, no guest ions asked.
Fifteen years ago I came down with cancer, Dr. Informed my wife & I that I might live 2 to 3 months at best. I was 58 at the time. I took the most potent meds they had to offer, 15 years later I'm still here in fairly good health with other problems not related at all.
Do I regret it? Not one bit, 15 more years spent with my wonderful wife, pursuring the pleasurs we & I enjoy.
Would I do it all again, yes, at the drop of a hat.
For those of you who wish to take bets with your health and your life, go right ahead, just don't suggest the same to others. Unless of course you have the medical background to back it up!
