I am hearing doctors are giving him about 2 years to live. If I was his age, and told I only have 18 -24 months to live, I donâ€™t think I would do chemo. Chemo really sucks. What is the point of extending your life a few months if you are going to be sick all the time?

Now if there was a chance the chemo could cure it, I would probably go for it. Unfortunately, brain cancer is a hard one to fight.

My prayers go out to Ted. No one deserves to go through cancer. May he find peace.
