I have found the term “rare” used to describe it. I have seen things about his liver and kidneys. But I haven’t found specifics on the type of his original cancer.

49 is too young.

Appendiceal Cancer, from what I’m seeing. He had endured 58 chemotherapy treatments and three abdomen surgeries. Stuart chose not to be told of his prognosis. I’ve always heard the Chemo, was a horrible treatment for many, though not all cancer patients.

Yes, chemo is rough, sometimes very much so.

But radiation can be rough, also. Very painful to mucosal tissues and an energy sapper.

My hat goes off for Mr. Stuart for his courage and determination, and my heart goes out to his memory. What a fighter and a role model for the rest of us.
