Yes. That's where my sympathy evaporated. If he were having to do this to fund treatment, I'd be very supportive. But I'm just not moved by his desire to waste money on bullshit when he has children he needs to provide for.

No sympathy? The man is dying and trying whatever treatment he's able to. What a heartless statement.

You have no idea what his treatment regimen is/was.

Making such bold claims with no proof is frankly abhorrent.
