Yeah I can't imagine just how bummed out my buddy must have been with not making it to the base camp, being one stop short of it.
It actually sparked a discussion with my wife about what we would do in that situation, if one of us got altitude sickness one stop short of the goal. We both decided that unless it was life threatening the other person should go all the way.
Heck in India when I got sick (from McDonalds no less) for a day she went off to see some buddhist caves while I rested up in the hostel. I missed a partial solar eclipse!
