How do you feel about chemotherapy and radiation?

To me it almost seems like they just speed up the process of dying from cancer. Like they'll shrink down the tumors quite a bit, but than they'll also greatly weaken your body. Which than allows the cancer to come back stronger and more aggressively. Sometimes it works, but a majority of the time it doesn't.

They target the area the cancer is at but will kill the good cells in the bad just as well as the bad. Either way a great deal of pain is involved and the medications they give you for that may kill you too over prolonged use.
My Uncle got bowel cancer when he was about your age. Started off with smears of blood from his rectum when he was about you age and didn't get it checked till the bleeding was more evident. He refused to take any pain medication and lived like that for 9 years before he passed.

@Thevy29 one of my close friends had cancer and was treated successfully with immunotherapy. Didn’t get chemo or radiation.
