...agree....I am no physician; never spent a day in medical school and never played one on TeeVee or the movies, but found this article....I wish him well, but at his age, I just wonder if he can beat this...of course, the “Let’s generate a lot of sympathy for him and ignore the Hur tapes !!” train is about to leave the station....

“What is the survival rate for bone cancer?
“Though bone cancers can be fatal, many people make a full recovery. The five-year relative survival rate for bone cancer is 68.2%. This means that 68.2% of people with bone cancer are still alive five years after their diagnosis. Those with lower-stage bone cancers have a better chance of a full recovery. For people with higher-stage bone cancers, where it’s already spread, the chances of the cancer coming back increase.”

There was a gentleman Freeper who had rare sacrum cancer some time ago. Unfortunately his name and Freeper handle escape me. He gave frequent updates on his health and treatment. If I remember correctly he survived maybe 3 to 5 years after diagnosis.
