Feel the same way you do. My mom had lung cancer also, the chemo destroyed her body before killing her. Chemo actually made her cancer grow bigger and spread, and she hadn't even finished all her treatments, she had one left, and that last one she did, she shouldn't have done because her body wasn't ready for it. They tried to pump her body up to get her numbers up last second before giving her the treatment.
Wish I had known then what I know now, she may be still with us today or at the very least not gone through chemo which made her miserable in her last months. It so pisses me off, I feel guilty for not being able to help her and seeing how they destroyed her body. Her looking at me with tears going down her cheeks as she passed and telling her I loved her, about did me in. Took me a year to start getting over her passing, it's been over 7 yrs. and I still think to call her with good or bad news. How proud she would be of her grandchildren right now. Lord, how I still miss her!
I know exactly what you mean. My dad had a total of 3 chemotherapy treatments and one radiation set of 33 treatments. After the last chemo, the doctors told him they would kill him faster with the treatment than without. Thank God for that. It gave us another 2 and a half years with him. Most of that time he spent with my brother in Idaho because it was easier for him to breathe but we got to have him the last 5 weeks of his life. I have some medical experience and we had an excellent hospice team. Blessings to Idaho and Nevada Veterans hospitals. They coordinated our trip home (550 miles) with enough oxygen to get him here and had his equipment set up in my home within 3 hours of us arriving.

Thankfully many in the medical community do have a heart for healing. I'm glad you had some extra time with him..🙏
Glad you & your family had those last few weeks with your father. ❤️
I'm deeply sorry GDZ...so heartbreaking! I stay furious about how many souls have suffered and died because of their so called "treatments"..💔😿🤬
