"He said he had a curable cancer and he should have taken the treatment."

He never uttered this sentence. You're making it up (lying).

Supposedly, he did say "I didn't want my body to be opened...I didn't want to be violated in that way,"

Which shows a man struggling to come to terms with his diagnoses, desperate for alternatives, and eventually gathering the courage to undergo a major surgical operation.

> and eventually gathering the courage to undergo a major surgical operation

Which suggests he came around to the fact he should have had the surgery in the fist place?
