What Would You Do If Your Friend Has 20 Days To Live? Part 2

Hi everyone! I have an update on my friend's cancer journey. Just five days ago, his condition was not looking good - his eye had a yellowish tint, his stomach was bloated, and his legs and hands were swollen with water retention. He couldn't eat without vomiting and had difficulty drinking water. He wasn't sweating and felt hot all the time, even with the fan on.

But things started to change when I sent him a hydrogen machine for therapy, and asked him to keep warm with heat packs to encourage sweating. And guess what? This morning, he called me and said he was hungry! He hadn't eaten for 5 whole days. I advised him to start with soft foods and fruits to slowly condition his body to accept food again.

Here's some background: he was initially diagnosed with colon cancer 3 months ago, which was treated. Unfortunately, a month ago, the cancer spread to his liver. The doctors advised chemotherapy, but after five sessions, his body broke down and they said there wasn't much else they could do.

I want to share this experience with all cancer patients, to encourage asking your doctors about the success rates, side effects, costs, and duration of treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It's essential to weigh the potential outcomes against the costs, as having insurance coverage doesn't necessarily mean it's the best decision for your health. Stay informed and make the best choice for you!
