I mean isn't that basically what happened with Steve Jobs?
When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he decided to forgo the aggressive medical treatment advised by doctors, opting instead of acupuncture & fruit juices.

Acupuncture and fruit juices are just as effective, with a much lower incidence of side effects. I’d choose that treatment option as well. There’s nothing unethical about palliative care.
He had a much rarer form of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and has much better survival rates.
Pallatiative care is making the choice to travel to end of the line. I am currently going through making that decision. If i do, bring on the tasty juices and accupuncture to make me feel relieved at the time. But i am not delusional, it's not treatment. It is not going to fix anything or even stall it
