My prayers go out for him and his family. I've been in his family's shoes before, its very difficult.

It sounds like he's going for a good rest of his life rather than a futile soul-sucking standoff.

Much peace.

That only 18 months ago he was leading the response to the Marathon bombing. Wishing him the best.

Without knowing either Tom Menino and/or his family personally, my condolences go out to him and his family. Here's hoping for the best for all of them.

He has a big heart. Sorry to know he is suffering. Glad to know he's got family he loves to entertain and help him.

From his Facebook page:

Today, I, along with my family, after talking with my medical team, have decided to suspend my book tour as well as my cancer treatments. While I continue to fight this terrible disease, I feel it is time for me to spend more time with my family, grandkids, and friends. The medical team at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital along with those at the Dana-Farber have been amazing in their care and treatment of me and the many other patients and families that suffer from cancer. I am hopeful and optimistic that one day the talented researchers, doctors and medical professionals in this city will find a cure for this awful disease. Angela and I are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support and kindness shown to our family and ask that everyone keep us in their thoughts and prayers.
