Seldom do we see someone willing to give up without at least going thru the standard rad chemo. I can only think of one since I have been associated with this site and unfortunately he decided to seek Tx after it was to late. It was a little more complicated than that and we all grew to love him but there's was little hope when he finally did srart getting the proper Tx. I don't envy you or him if that's what his final decision is going to be.
