He is 13 years old. He does not know what is in his best interest. You don't ask a child do you want to have chemo.
As far as his mom having say so over him. She is crazy. I mean if that child has a 90-95% chance of survival, what kind of person would let him die when they could save him? I have typed reports of grownups who have had this when they were children and fully recovered. I am sure the treatment was not pleasant, but they had a life to look forward to. A parent does whatever they can to save their child. God has given humans the intelligence to invent such things as chemo to treat this. If someone is too ignorant to use it then don't blame God.
If this was an adult then I say leave it to them, but a child should definitely be treated. If an adult wants to refuse treatment and die so be it but a child needs decisions made for them, and if there parents are ignorant, then someone else needs to step in and make them. And yes when you refuse treatment that would give your child a 90-95% chance you are ignorant.
