Nick Cannon opted against chemo for late son: it wouldn’t have improved his ‘quality of life’

Nick Cannon is opening up about deciding against chemotherapy for son Zen ahead of the infant’s death from brain cancer last December.

The “Wild ‘N Out” creator and host, 42, and Zen’s mom, Alyssa Scott, were told chemo would “not really” allow the infant to live past the age of 3 or 4, he explained on Paramount+’s “The Checkup with Dr. David Agus,” according to People.

The “quality of life” for Zen, who was diagnosed with high-grade glioma and died at 5 months old, would also not likely be improved, said recently hospitalized Cannon. He has himself undergone chemo for lupus.
