Ebola Patient In Dallas Struggling To Survive, Says CDC Head

21. he may pull through on his own

Others certainly have. This isn't a question at this point of either he tries this experimental medication or he dies. It's much like a cancer patient that may survive on their own or using chemo when they are in a too weakened state for it and possibly dying because of the chemo. My father had to make the choice between survival for another 6 - 8 months with most of that time his being relatively pain or discomfort free or doing chemo when they didn't think his body could take it and a very real possibility of his dying during the chemo treatment. My dad opted for no chemo, he got about 7 months of relative pain or discomfort free time to see the people he wanted to see one last time, get his affairs in order and spend quality time with my mom.

But Mr. Duncan isn't in the same position as my dad was because he yet may survive the disease, and if he does that's the end of it unlike my dad's cancer that was going to kill him regardless. He's lasted a very long time so far compared to most people who've gotten the disease, and that's very hopeful. Most people that get to his stage of symptoms die within a couple of days even with treatment such as Doctors Without Borders are able to give which is not so different than what the Dallas hospital can give.

Other than that, see my post here...
