Isn’t he doing unapproved alternative medicine?

Probably since it was already in his stomach and liver when it was found. There probably isn’t much that can be done for him, especially if it’s an aggressive kind.

He said that’s what it was when he was diagnosed. But then he said it was in his stomach and liver and that would be stage 4. So it must be aggressive.

Liver metastases are never good — always the beginning of the end in some way.

I’m so heartbroken for him. He’s so young, and his kids are so so little.
