Chordoma Cancer
Chordoma strikes anywhere along the spine or skull. It's so rare that only about 300 new cases are diagnosed each year, and few scientists are interested in working on it. The cancer is also so relentless that there is no cure. The average life expectancy of people with chordoma is about seven years.

He did a good job educating people about Chlordoma and I'm sure he helped many people to realize that cancer is a big deal and is killing many people. It's best not to give up on yourself even though a doctor may say you only have about seven years left to live. I hope he stays enthusiastic about researching Chlordoma.
