all i am saying is, i do not think i could be rational and objective in my decision making in the amount of time they have had to absorb and process this news. if, as MO1 said, he continues on in this presidential run, leaving her sicker and home alone as he proceeds, yes, i will judge him harshly for that. but at this stage, it may just be more than either of them can handle to admit of the possibility that she will die sooner rather than later. one can be informed and knowledgeable as all get out, about cancer, but when it is YOU or your family member they are talking about, that goes out the window and pure emotion takes over.
I'm agreeing with you.
So I'm left to deduce he called the press conference to hold off anybody jumping ship.
