It's basically beyond a miracle for someone to survive stage 4 cancer, let alone pancreatic cancer which I have heard is one of the most difficult to treat.

Terrible news. Good luck.

I hate to hear a story like this. I wish him the best.

First round of chemo was unresponsive. Cancer continues to progress. Realistically, the likelihood he makes it through another 5-6 months with suppressed immunity (while weighing 130 pounds)... is about as much of an outlier as one can make up. That means the prognosis is: don't count on seeing him in the ring again, ever.

Enjoy life, Omar.

Chemo and radiotherapy doesn't always work either.
