@Eliatack

That all depends on the patient and how far the cancer has spread. I watched the Chgo news, and there was footage of Ryne in the hospital receiving treatment already, so I am sure he has a fight ahead of him, but he is keeping a positive attitude, and has access to great medical care, and has tons of people praying for him, so hopefully he has a good prognosis.

Prayers and best wishes to Ryne and his family during this difficult time. Best regards, David
