(39,191 posts)Husband of person at work. Husband has stage four lung cancer. They wanted to do surgery, radiation, chemo, the works. LOTS of pain. Maybe a few weeks more at best. He told them his dignity was far more important than lining their pockets when he KNEW he would die this year NO MATTER WHAT THEY DID.
They made it sound like they were selling snake oil. And they were RELENTLESS. He had to change his cell phone number because so many people were calling him to try and convince him to get treatment by them, that his doctors didn't know shit, blah blah blah.
He never smoked a day in his life. 55. But he will die with dignity and not blown up like a balloon like another from work with brain cancer who bought into the bullshit and STILL died last year racking up hundreds of thousands in bills health care won;t cover.
FUCK THEM.
