It would be all fine and dandy if these dumb motherfukkers weren't already aware of their stage 1 cancer diagnosis like 2 or 3 years ago, and didn't try to go to Mexico for a "Natural Colon Cleanse" or to Brazil for a "Diet of Fruits and Vegetables" or to Fiji for some other "enter alternative retarded remedy here"

They get diagnosed by us in America, DECLINE Sugery, Chemotherapy, or Radiation, and just go to some fukin foreign country to undergo some "therapy" that always fails, and then they come to us and end up fukin dying after last-ditch chemotherapy meant to help with their symptoms

That's not all. These same fukks family members will then go on to every social media platform, screaming that Chemotherapy doesn't work and that it "made my dad/mom/brother/sister feel terrible before they died"

It's like no bich, they came too late and the chemotherapy was never going to cure them you stupid whore, next time get the chemotherapy/surgery/radiation as soon as you get diagnosed and this won't happen

Not sure of this guy's story, but yeah cancer fukin sucks, especially aggressive cancers. RIP to this man
As a mechanic, it's not rare that people come in wanting to get their transmiission serviced at some odd milege and it turns out their trans is acting up and I'm sure a lot of them do the same thing with their health. Prevenative maintenance doesn't solve problems that have already started. So they chain smoke until they can't breathe, they eat until they get so obese they can't move.

I think that once you know you have cancer, you need to make a decision right then and there on if you want to live or not, and if you do, find a doctor, facility that knows what they are doing and start following their advise. I don't trust the medical system but I do doctors.
