    I would do the same. I watched my 38 year old husband decline in a 24 month period. My Dad at 85 was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. They wanted to put a chemo port in. Dad refused treatment. He checked out of the hospital. The doctor said he’d be gone in two weeks without treatment. Dad ignored him. Dad lived 5 more years of a quality life including travel and passed at 89 from a stroke. He didn’t die from the “cancer”. Praying for your healing

They work with the 2 quacks that are only there for the money that’s streaming in. I could never be an oncologist. Even my palliative care team admitted that it’s all about the money to those men. Remember always get a second and even a third opinion. I should be dead right now, when he said that to me it put me in a different mode. I started giving away things, I got on hospice because I thought I was dying so I made myself sicker than I actually was. I was taking a lot of pills for anxiety and depression and pain.

Next week I am cutting the pill in half. I am tired of that medication.

When the children in her class asked their teacher about her they were told that she had been diagnosed with brain cancer and that she was having treatment for it. Unfortunately, she went to bed one night and didn't wake up the next morning . At first the parents thought she was asleep, tired from all the treatment but after a while felt they needed to check up on their little girl. They found her in bed unresponsive. I can't help thinking the treatment ended that poor baby's life. It was so sad hearing my niece tell me this.

      I would NEVER have chemo or radiation or any of the crap that the standard or care cancer doctors use to torture the patient. Why because it doesn't work for most people.
      Now go listen to Dr. Thomas Seyfried he has many video's on CZcams and you will learn how to attack cancer cells with NO expensive useless poisons. The treatment is CHEAP and it doesn't harm the body.
      My Mom was told she had leukemia and had 6 months to live at 79 years old and that if she didn't have chemo that she would be dead. She gave the doctors the middle finger and told them off and did nothing and lived till she was 86. I wish I had known about Dr. Thomas Seyfried back then I bet I could have made her lived till she was 100 and in wonderful shape.
      My mission is to spread the word about Dr. Seyfried. I am so sick of seeing people suffer the horrible side effects of chemo and radiation and then die within a short amount of time .

    My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in late January, 2022 and was given the standard two to six months to live. She is in far better shape right now than when I picked her up from the hospital after her diagnosis. My brother, a carpenter, gave her the first really good advise, stop eating sugar and starches. After some mis-steps and mistakes, but no medical treatment, my sister's doctors say she is a miracle now when they see her. "Keep doing what you have been doing. " I feel bad that anyone should endure the horrors of cancer, but I feel even worse that so many stage 4 cancer victims are furthure victimized by the so-called medical standard of care.

She was full of hope and courage, and didn't flinch at having an awake craniotomy, but bitterly regretted taking chemo and radiation. She was sure that she could have done so much better without. I hoped she would not go down that route, but supported whatever she chose to do. I most definitely would not , although wouldn't criticise those who would.

Her mass decreased from 4,000 to 2,000 in size . At first they told her she would need to do radiation or chemo followed by surgery. she was going to just stick with radiation instead of chemo but now she just has to the surgery to remove the mass .

    Thanks your interest Ellen! When applying for a job,I had to get an X-ray for TB. They said “you have a spot, get it checked out.”The pulmonary dr I went to said it was interstitial lung disease. After awhile they concluded it was cancer. No symptoms, no coughing, no blood, no shortness of breath. I went along with them and had the lower lobe of my right lung removed. After a pet scan, they said it had spread to T6 and L1 vertebra. I asked what was the bio marker so I could choose immunotherapy. “ Not enough evidence of disease to determine that”.My oncologist appealed the decision and was regected again. They recommended I start keytruda and another platinum based chemo or I would be dead in 6 months. That was last August, refused the chemo and am still having no symptoms. Im left wondering do I have cancer?

    More info from a military veteran:
    2 1/2 years ago i had a large tumor develop on the left side of my neck. The VA sent me to a cancer doctor in Knoxville, Tn. A fine needle biopsy showed I had squamous cell carcinoma which had matastasized.
    I rejected traditional treatment and began taking 1 gram of fenbendazole daily in 4 250mg
    doses.
    I used safe-guard horse dewormer from tractor supply and Amazon.
    I now use a generic at 20 cents.

    Big Bear, I agree 💯. Quality of life is more important than longevity. My friend died from brain cancer. She stuck with the treatment. Her last 9 months were spent living as a vegetable. I knew then, I would never go the route she went. I think oncologist push treatment for experimentation. You ate not giving up, you are living the best Quality of the life you have left. I have so much respect for you for posting this.

    • @raymilland3413

      Yep!!!
      Dr. Thomas Seyfried has many video's on CZcams talking about using a ketogenic diet and parasite drugs like Fenbendzole and Mebendazole and Ivermectin to starve out cancer cells.
      Cancer cells can only use glucose and glutamine as fuel so a ketogenic diet will reduce glucose and the parasite drugs are good at targeting glucose and glutamine.
      It's a safe and healing and cheap treatment.

    7 year kidney cancer patient here. Currently on immuno. None of the 5 or 6 other treatments did anything of benefit, except make life miserable while being criminally expensive. The current one doesn't look like it is either, so far. I have decided that the end of this year I will be finished with all chemo/immuno. Stay strong.

      Go listen to Dr. Thomas Seyfried video's on CZcams. He explains what makes cancer grow (all cancers) and how to starve out cancer cells while keeping the body healthy and the treatment is CHEAP and non toxic.
      Please go listen to him. Please.

    You are following your instinct and looking cancer straight in the eye. You know what you are feeling and you know what you are looking at. I'm an End-of-Life Doula, which you may not have heard of. I talk to people of every walk. Some decide to go with treatment and some decide to go with their own path. It's still a choice and it is your choice. It must be honoured. And see? You were able to sleep peacefully, that tells me so much. Now, go live your life. I'm over in England, but I'm born in America. I'm a dual citizen. If you ever need any support, let me know. It's just as you said, you don't walk this alone. You are now part of a very large group of people who care and understand. May you carry on and live your wishes. I completely admire you and fully trust you are doing what is right for you. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

    I am sorry for the circumstances you are dealing with, but I truly admire your decision. My grandmother died from lung cancer and took no treatment other than pain relief, which she didn't really have to utilize much. She was in the kitchen making herself a sandwich just a few days before she passed peacefully at home. I'm glad you'll be able to enjoy these days with your family. Praying for the best for you.

    You are a gutsy and smart man. I totally applaud your decision. I also have stage 4 cancer but am actually doing well as far as quality of life. I am really tired but at least not in pain and tolerating my targeted hormone therapy well. But if I start having problems with my treatment or my life involves pain and nausea all the time, I'm walking away, too. I will continue to pray for you and hope you find comfort and peace for the rest of your time on earth.

    It isn’t giving up at all. My sweet neice went through all the treatment and had tons of side effects. For all her life some of these will remain as long as she lives. At the same time I received the same diagnosis. Chose no treatment, just wanted quality of life, did have surgery but no chemotherapy or radiation . Both of us are still here, she has no evidence of disease; I have metastasis to bone and stage four. There is a large age difference with me being 30 years older. It’s been a great life and whatever is in store will be. At least not dealing with side effects. God bless you and may you live your life well no matter what.

    I admire you & you have definitely made the right decision. I watched my dad have radiotherapy for lung cancer to not cure him but length his time with mum & I and having watched him go through that I can honesty say it was wasted time. Like you he eventually said enough. Far better as you say to enjoy the time you have left without all the treatment which makes you so ill with no guarantee.

      Yes you are amazing. Until one has been there, we really don't know, do we? Live your life. Eat keto, if you feel good on that. In the doctor's book Lancet there was an article about a doctor treating a girl with brain Cancer. He threw everything at it. Finally desperate he put her on a diet of steak and eggs. She went into remission. Can't hurt to try Keto. Sugar feeds Cancer. Cancers love sugars. My ay you have many years ahead of you.

      glory to God! That's amazing. I've been using keto and intermittent fasting 5 years to reverse liver and kidney dise'ase (it worked but I have to stay this way forever).
      Can'cer cells can't survive without sugar. Fasting triggers autophagy which is the process though which our body digests excess tissue, tumor cells etc. Combined with known anti tumor meds such as Iv.er.mec.tin and fen.bend.az.ole, which have little to no risk and side effects, chances of success and quality of life skyrocket in comparison to conventional treatments.
      At the risk of sounding like a tinfoil hat person: it's true that big farmah DOES NOT want us to know about this!!!

    My sentiments exactly. I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and refuses the torture treatments.

As she approaches 82, she is doing fine.

    Many Doctor's have said that they wouldn't have treatment like chemo or radiotherapy,because of the treatment being even worse than the cancer itself,and although these may eradicate the cancerous cells,it's not just those cells it kills,but normal healthy cells as well.
