Real talk in case someone needs to see this:

I had a good friend who's dog got cancer and he spoke very passionately about regretting the chemo. He said that chemo for people is to kill the cancer chemo for animals is to extend their life, but this wasn't something he knew going into the process.

It was not a good experience for either my friend or his doggo.

Bloomberg economics can go fuck themselves.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't do chemo for my pet knowing what it does to a human who can communicate how much it sucks. Not because of inflation and the author of the piece really could've left that part out.

I hope it doesn't come to it, but if I face this problem I plan to ask the vet what they would do if it was their dog. Not asking you to choose for me. But if it was your baby, what would you want for them?
