Usually when you go through chemo you end up losing your hair, having mouth sores along with skin rashes, and you're unable to walk.
That is what chemo is all about.....killing you day by day, and each day bringing you back to life again.
Are there other alternatives? 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions are always good, but eventually you are going to 'need' chemo if there are no other alternatives.
Unless the parents want the child to die, well then by all means give him pain-killers so that he doesn't suffer and let him die.
Any 11 year old kid will have a problem going through that kind of therapy....the pain is beyond description. Obviously the kid isn't going to want to do it again.
