A television news anchorman fighting brain cancer in Illinois told viewers he has only four to six months to live, but he hopes to work as long as he can. During a newscast on Thursday, Dave Benton told viewers of WCIA-TV in Champaign that doctors recently told him that his brain tumor is too large for surgery or radiation. The 51-year-old says he'll try a new treatment to slow the tumor's growth, but that his goal is to add 'a few more days and make them the best they can be.'
