    I think we agree at a high level, but differ on the specific degree of what’s treatable. Bacterial infections used to be a death sentence most of the time and are now largely treatable. Thankfully some cancers are at that point or on their way to the same. This is why more nuance is needed instead of proclaiming all cancers a lost cause.

    A lot of things about the human healthcare systems are messed up in the U.S. and certain other places. Veterinary care isn’t at the same level yet (though the greedy are working on it). A lot of veterinarians keep their prices as low as possible so more families can afford care, and treating these conditions isn’t financially unreachable.
