I don't agree with their decision, but I do agree with their right to make the decision

especially since the teen in question expressed a desire to not resume chemotherapy when it was deemed ineffective in its first run and was to be upped in terms of a more aggressive dosage. Quality of life and dignity in treatment is just as important--if not more so--than the bottom line of who lives and who dies. Allopathic (Western) medicine is not a cure-all, and conventional wisdom does not mean it must be so. I wish Abraham and his family well.
