I guess they'll have to knock him out first.
The question is this. IF they refuse chemo now and try their own "treatment" and the boy gets worse and they now decide to undergo conventional treatment, what if what is available at that time is more expensive than if they had undergone chemo at this time?

Think about it in this sense. If at this time, I refuse to take the simple step of treating a small wound on my leg and later on, I decide to go to the doctor and he says the leg has to be amputate and it costs more to treat it later than now, who pays?
