This does not sound whimpy at all! No-one can know what he is going through except him and if he has had enough and can not go any further then that is it. All of our side effects are different and different in severity and none of us can know exactly what someone else is going through. I think we all just want to make sure he does all he can to get rid of this awful disease, and it sounds like he has done all he can. I think we hoped that maybe with an extra push he could finish but not everyone can finish, and maybe not everyone needs to finish, C is so individualized and tricky there is no way to know for sure exactly how much or what is needed. Hopefully what he has done and been through is enough. I finished mine but that doesn't guarantee I will not have a re occurrence. All we can do is keep our fingers and toes crossed.
