If he would like to talk to someone, have him call me @ 727-322-5669 during the day, EST. As everyone has said it won't matter what Stage he is if he stops Tx as he will die, no if's ands or buts. Remind him that his Tx will is only for 6 to 7 weeks and that is nothing in comparison to the rest of his potential life. I won't lie to you and say he is guaranteed to
be cured by this Tx but I would rather go out fighting than just give up without a battle.
We are all here to help the both of you and your parents.
