It has been a tough season, one hard-fought, but ultimately lost for the Carolina Panthers. Until yesterday, there remained hope that Carolina could still battle for a playoff cure, despite setback after setback over the last two months. The Panther patient sought one last radical and West Coast experimental treatment this past Sunday. Hope sadly vanquished in Oakland as the Panthers fell again to this injurious and fatal 2016 disease. While doctors have not ruled survival mathematically, the patient hasn’t made the satisfactory progress to nourish any real hope.
These difficult circumstances have caused the Panther family, without the patient’s consent, has decided to focus on the quality of life rather than the length of that life.
