If he truly has a gioblastoma, no, the prognosis is certainly not “pretty good”. And, since when do you get increased energy levels from cancer treatment?
I took my mother to radiation every single day for her brain tumor. I watched the energy drain out of her. The very last day of her radiation on the way home I could see she was fading. When we got to her house and she got out of the car she collapsed and lost control of her bowels. I was lucky there was a work man there and he caught her before she hit the ground.

UMMMM, that’s really good DOPE...
He gets whatever he wants.
You get increased energy when you have a doctor who will prescribe whatever it takes to achieve that level. He probably takes drugs to get up, drugs to make it through the day, and drugs to sleep. He is much, much too important to retire. ( Uhm.../ S)
If they are giving him Prednisone it gives more energy, better appetites but lots of thirst. My dog had a tumor and they gave him Prednisone and it visibly shrunk. He felt great though, you would never know he was sick.
"Pretty good" is a flexible term - could mean they think he has twelve months instead of three. While I don't suspect a complete ruse like some people now do, I absolutely think that he chose to announce his condition when he did to further his putrid politics, and he's doing the same now by drawing a smiley face on his prognosis. See, he's justified in not stepping down - his outlook is "pretty good". *spit*
If chemotherapy was used you are first administered a steroid for inflammation which lasts for days after treatment week by week. Don't be fooled by the uptick in energy going mow the grass or something. 3 or 4 days after when the steroid wears, you are absolutely spent with your neutrophils dangerously low leaving you highly prone to infection.
