In an episode of “the checkup with Dr. David Agus,” Nick Cannon spoke about his late son Zen and explained why he and Alyssa Scott did not want Zen to undergo chemotherapy.

Cannon said that Zen was initially healthy. However, when Zen was around two months old, his parents noted his large head and strange breathing patterns, which they believed to be symptoms of asthma. However, when they brought Zen to the hospital, Nick and his partner were very shocked to learn that he had a brain tumor.

“He was healthy, active, always smiling. “We [also] noticed his head was a little larger, [but] all my kids have big heads. I was a big-headed baby. They did a lot of tests. They didn’t let him leave the hospital.And so you could imagine you think you’re taking your son in to get a checkup for — at the worst, I was thinking asthma, you know? And to know that he gets diagnosed with brain cancer, that was a shock,” said Nick in the show.  

Unfortunately, Zen was found to have an extremely uncommon and aggressive kind of brain cancer. The doctors told Nick that Zen was counting down the days and that he “could live to 3 or 4 years old”. Instead of putting Zen to chemotherapy, Nick and Scott chose to give him a quality life.

“From that point, they pretty much told me that best case scenario, your son could live to 3 or 4 years old. So instantly when I heard that, I thought quality of life. I wanted him to have the best existence he could have,” said Cannon.
