We always thought when a patient could withstand chemotherapy (both physically- and with no illness that would impede the function), we should provide these chemicals. As a last ditch effort to save the patient and improve the quality of life. (Just so you know, I didn’t abide that sentiment. I demanded they stop this ridiculous effort for my dad some 30 years ago; with the combination of leukemia, lymphoma, and sarcoma, it was clear that there was no cocktail that would work for all three- and any treatment would render the other diseases worse.)
