Sad news, but I think he declined treatment very early on

@carbcounter I think that is more than likely; when you’ve gone the conventional route for PCa and it continues to get worse, what alternative do you really have, BUT ‘alternative’?
I might take worm poison myself if it came down to the ‘quality of life’ speech from my doctors. Just go home and die? Nope… You never know if it might work for you, even if someone else had zero success.
Certainly NOT advocating for alternative treatment over what is KNOWN to work in 95% of cases, but if you’re in that last 5% it is your call…

@heavyphil If I were out of options and there were a legit-but-risky treatment still in early-phase trials, yes, I'd take a chance, but if I'm going to take a big risk, I'd at least want evidence-base hope of a benefit (even if it was only a 5–10% probability).
But otherwise, why make myself even sicker and ruin my last months, just because some influencers desperate for YouTube followers have declared that drinking Chanel N° 5 (or whatever) magically cures all diseases, including cancer?
