After a second relapse last July, he had a third stem cell transplant before returning to hospital in May. 鈥淓arlier today, Jarrod made the decision to stop active treatment and begin palliative care,鈥 Briony Lyle posted on Facebook under a picture of the golfer in a hospital bed hugging the couple鈥檚 two young daughters. 鈥淗e has given everything that he鈥檚 got to give and his poor body cannot take any more. We鈥檒l be taking him closer to home in the next couple of days so he can finally leave the hospital.鈥
