Arizona wife of cancer patient says she made plea at Georgia clinic, got a lesson in ‘I told you so’: ‘Might be too late because of your attitude’

Cancer is a complicated condition. It’s not just a battle of the body but also a battle of the human spirit. Sometimes patients and their families struggle to tell where one ends and the other begins. For Carrie Severson and her husband Gary, the medical care they allegedly received at a Georgia clinic only made that battle more difficult.

Writing for HuffPost, Carrie, who currently lives in Peoira, Arizona with her husband, explained that not giving up on his fight against cancer meant everything to Gary. To him, agreeing to a feeding tube felt like waving the white flag. But by that point, he had lost so much weight because eating had become almost impossible. Even swallowing fluids caused him pain.
