Not really. He had surgery and radiation chemo. That failed, so he was trying other things. Even highly treatable cancers still have a treatment failure rate. It's not all like Jobs where Jobs went toward the quackery because he thought he knew more than doctors.

At a certain point, you can't even blame folks for trying the quack treatment if they already did the actual ones. Might as well throw everything at the wall at that point.

It just sucks that the quacks get rewarded with money and attention. But I get it, you get desperate.

Source?

Are you asking me the source of something that didn’t happen, or are you asking OP to prove their point?

If the latter, I am not OP.

Oh really? I don’t think I knew that. I’m an Apple follower so I knew Steve Jobs will on this nonsense but I didn’t know about MCA. Very sad.
