My uncle who resides in France and is a holder of a French citizenship, has been diagnosed with terminal prostatic cancer.
He had treated this condition in the past but it ultimately came back, but this time around doctors (including a specialist in Marseille) made him know that his condition was incurable as Chemotherapy would be risky his body which he deemed weak.
My uncle can go downstairs, talk and walk, eat and travel. He ended up giving up on treatment all-together since doctors around the area told him there was nothing they could do.
I need help, as an American who’ve witnessed the medical system disparity around the world, I found it skeptical and came here to research. I’m lost and need help.

France has an excellent medical system, IMO. If he can't tolerate chemo, he should at least be taking androgen deprivation therapy and a second line hormonal therapy like abiraterone or enzalutamide. Radiation targeting metastases can relieve pain.
