Technically, there IS treatment, but it's now about treatment for the patient and no longer for the disease – e.g. pain management.
The term "poker ambassador" gets thrown around quite a bit, but Sexton is on a short list of people for whom it truly applies. Very sad to hear this.
By the way, I didn't notice until now that the WPT renamed its Champions Cup in Mike's honor back in mid-July. Perhaps word of his condition got around the tour's leadership, and they figured it was a good time to do this while he was still around to appreciate the honor?
Anyway, thanks to Linda Johnson for communicating on Sexton's behalf. Couldn't help but pull a photo from my archives (that's Antonio Esfandiari in the vest and blue shirt):
