While I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, and please don't take what I'm 
about to say the wrong way. That said, the way you've told the story I'd say 
they killed him with the Chemo by assuming he wasn't doing anything else 
while he wasn't coming in for that.

The whole idea of Chemo is to poison the cancer and hope that it dies before 
you do. Having seen the results (SEVERAL times), I won't say that they'll 
never get their hands on me, but it would take a lot of persuasion.

modern virtues without which we cannot hope to control the forces science has 
let loose among us. --I.A.R. Wylie
