I've seen the week-by-week effects of chemotherapy, my father, who was big (not fat) and had enough stamina to go to work full time every day for months despite having cancer, went from his normal self to unable to stand up for more than five minutes without having to lie down to rest. If it can do that to a grown man, it can do worse to a kid, and it's just wrong to force that on someone without letting them have a second opinion.
If the kid does end up having chemo treatments, I hope they work for him. It's terrible to see anyone go through having cancer, but it's worse to see a kid go through it at an age where he probably doesn't even understand what's happening to him.
