While many ridiculed Michael Landon for his decision to give up chemotherapy, the doctors claimed that there was only a 1% chance that the treatment was going to be able to abate the actor’s cancer. Michael tried a few doses of chemotherapy before giving it up, claiming that he didn’t like the idea of injecting himself with deadly chemicals on the off chance that they may be able to cure him.
