Brain cancer - 18 months.
“Brain cancer - 18 months.”
Depends on the kind of tumor. I understand it is malignant, but some are much more aggressive than others. They are making remarkable strides in this field. In 1996 my friend was told to go home and prepare to die, no treatment possible for his brain tumor. We found some good doctors and good drugs, and I understand he’s still alive, but it was not an aggressively growing tumor.
Unless a miracle, more like 6 months to a year.
They’ve made huge advances in treating brain tumors. Yes, there are very aggressive ones — my wife’s cousin died last August only a day after diagnosis and probably only weeks after it developed. But honestly, it the tumor is primary and treatable, brain tumors are one of the better cancers to have — if that makes any sense.
A lot of brain tumors don’t metasticize and that is often what ends up killing people.
Symptoms are remarkably similar to my fathers - diagnosed in July, died the following March. Kennedy may not live to see a new President.
