Yes, you are exactly right! My dad did think that radiation would be much "easier" than chemo and he also did not want to sit there for long hours if it only added up to 5-10% to his life expectency. I think that he is now reconsidering all of his options and as a family we will support his ultimate decision fully. My mother and father are both elderly and are appreciative that I have been able to post their questions here and give them input from other people who are or have been sadly in a similar situation. Thank you!
