A friend of mine with pancreatic cancer just posted his status on fb saying that after careful thought and deliberation, he's not going to participate in a clinical trial. He wants to maintain the highest quality of life possible for the limited amount of time he has left.

Can I just say that sucks? This guy is so funny and taught me so much while I was deployed. I spent my first rotation scared to death of him and then came to see that he took his job very seriously but not himself. He always made me laugh and I wish there was hope of a happy ending.
