I've watched two people die of cancer, maybe extending you're life at that point isn't what you want.

Edit - I'm just bitter atm

Maybe speaking for all cancer patients after only knowing two isn’t what you want.

Dcvax extended progression free survival rates even for recurrences. I’ve also watched two people die of cancer, both extremely aggressive (one GBM). He had a 99.9% resection of GBM and he did well for about six months until the cancer reoccurred.

Maybe it’s not what you’d want, but this treatment is offered well after you’ve been offered palliative care and hospice services, so your point is moot at best and incredibly cynical at worst.

Depends how you prolong their life. Targeted therapy like immunotherapy gives a lot of virtually no no symptoms since the treatment only attacks cancer cells
