Thanks for your support -
I’m very sorry to hear about your friend Ted. I don’t know if this will be of any help but here’s a link to a site with more information on tumor grading.

I think you’re doing the right thing by being there for Ted and his family. That’s all that you or anyone can do.
My prayers for Ted and his family…Grace
please… assist .. ted is frail with sunken eyes and skin and bone, not eating. He has refused a second blood transfusion and wants to remain at home to die.
When getting out of bed cries in pain and needs help with the aids of waling sticks.
What are there levels. How much more sffering must he go through?
