Is that normal for a cancer patient?

based on what I read the most effective treatment for chondrosarcoma is surgery. either way, for someone who is an advanced state of cancer (again, it's
grade 4 not stage 4 as the OP presented it in his first post) it's not uncommon to not be on chemo or radiation. At grade 4*, for many the quality of one's last months is more valuable than undertaking rounds of body-ravaging treatment that serve only to increase physical distress.
*I'm not a scientist, but since grade 4 refers to the growth of malignant cells that are undifferentiated from surrounding normal, healthy cells, I'd make an (uneducated) guess that any chemo or radiation treatments provided at that point would cause equal damage to healthy tissue. if that's the case, quality of life in one's final months isn't the only issue, an additional factor would be the efficacy of the treatment itself.
either way, someone who is afflicted with cancer would have a ton of documentation from the hospital and their doctors regarding their disease. the OP's reluctance in providing any proof to sonofsam or the mods at this point just seems self-defeating.
@Yngwie, if this is all really happening I get that you're under an anvil of grief and stress right now. Why not just send Sam a scan of a medical record that proves her diagnosis, collect the funds and get back to what really matters? Fighting on the internet is the least productive way you could choose to spend your time. there are quite a few peeps in this thread who would help if you would only meet them halfway and provide some tangible evidence.
I find this thread very sad. Regardless of what the truth actually is. That and I need to quit smoking.
All the best OP, however this turns out.
