because that's what a lot of studies are saying about the cancers with poor prognoses because of the nature of the tumors, their locations, or the type of cancer.

He will certainly live better with comfort care.

I had a hard time forgiving him for caving to the Republicans over the caged protestors in "free speech" gulags during the RNC. That had to be the lowest point in his long tenure as mayor.

However, something kept him in office for 20 years in one of the toughest jobs in one of the toughest cities in the US, so I wish him the best.
