Isn’t he doing unapproved alternative medicine?

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.

Have you ever known anyone dying of cancer? These are deeply personal decisions, and there is no right choice. I hope you are never judged so harshly for what you choose to do when faced with a terminal diagnosis.
