News4JAX anchor continues sharing cancer journey in \u2018Fighting Cancer on My Terms\u2019 series<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 A lot of people ask me if chemo was the right way to go. <\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s different for everyone, but for me, the decision was more complicated.<\/p>\n

I saw how chemo treatments undermined my brother Pete\u2019s life. While the treatments bought him time, his quality of life was horrible. <\/p>\n

So that raised questions for me.<\/p>\n

As I continue to share my cancer journey, I\u2019d like to share some very personal insights and take you \u201cinside\u201d my final week of chemo. <\/p>\n

I hope this series makes the struggle easier for you and your loved ones with a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Catch up with Bruce\u2019s journey:<\/p>\n
