He is not terminal, he is not dying. He has probably THE most curable type of cancer. According to a prominent oncologist, even at advanced stages, his type of cancer is very curable.

IAWTC. I had stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma - the same cancer Luke has - eight years ago. After seven months of treatment, I was in full remission. Since then, I haven’t had any side effects from the disease, chemotherapy, or radiation. Luke is young and has been diagnosed at an early stage. Chemo won’t be a treat for him, but there’s a 95% chance that he’s going to be just fine. Do your research, people.
