David,

Due to his kidney and liver failure, he is 6'4" tall and now weighs 147 lbs. The radiation could do as much damage as it does good. His doctor did not rec radiation at this time and my brother would not opt for it anyway. It is in his mouth, tongue, jaw, throat, larynx and sinus. It is also in the salivary glands and mucous lining. He is not looking to be cured or even for any additional time. He just does not want additional suffering.


Twin brother Stage 4. Mouth, tongue, jaw, throat, neck and vocal chords. Not a candidate for surgery or chemo due to earlier health issues this year. He is opting for no treatment. He smoked and drank. Nutritional levels were not at their highest the last several years.
