I have to say that does not ring true.

If you knew you had a 75% probability of being dead in the next 5 years, and could make $1.5 million for your wife and children per year vs. $168,000...wouldn't you do it?

With those numbers I’d finish out the term. But that’s just me.

Sadly I think you hit the nail on the head. I suspect he’s looking for what he can leave for his family.

Yes.

That was my thinking as well. You know he probably can't get life insurance, so what they will have is what he can earn.

I hope I am wrong.

nail on head.

when colon cancer comes back again....there is a strong likelihood of metastasizing to liver and beyond pretty quick

chemo is more to slow it down for a while at best

cancer is either in remission or growing....no in between ...at least not for long

even though my views took a serious divergence from his, I sure pray he gets the best outcome God can grant him for hisself and his loved ones

he has every right to get his house in order for his family and his earning peak is now

I made a similar argument in a previous thread. Tony could get a high six-figure book advance as well a very nice salary for a radio or television gig. A recurrence of cancer would send most of us a very serious message about mortality.
