I have no idea whether he will believe the doctors or not. I think he would considering he has already gone ahead and made ALL the preparations for his death already!
He is usually quite a bit of a negative thinker as far as his personality goes. However, he used to be a chiropractor so maybe there is a chance...?
The saddest thing about it so far is that he hasn't even told his little girl yet (she's ten). He refuses to tell her until he knows for sure what the doctor's say about his prognosis....
Anyway, thanks for your good healing vibes, Tracey!
