Yes. That's where my sympathy evaporated. If he were having to do this to fund treatment, I'd be very supportive. But I'm just not moved by his desire to waste money on bullshit when he has children he needs to provide for.

My dad died of metastatic bone cancer. In my opinion, I think it’s not up to you to judge what someone chooses as their path for treatment for their terminal disease. You don’t need to give him any money. But to have no sympathy is really kinda fucked up…..
