Former Scotland international goalkeeper Andy Goram, a long-time Glasgow Rangers player, revealed on Monday that he has terminal cancer. According to doctors, the Scottish goalkeeper would have around six months to live. The 58-year-old has declined chemotherapy treatment which could have given him three more months of life, after witnessing the effects of such treatment on his ex-wife Miriam, who was battling cancer last year .
«Go through chemotherapy and suffer martyrdom for three more months and zero quality of life? No thanks. Chemotherapy is not on the menu“, he thus declared to the Daily Record. “I will stay here as long as I can. The only difference is the ticking time bomb going away“, he continued.
