Cancer rumors swirl around Putin
NY Post ^ | Oct. 24, 2014 | Richard Johnson

There is an explanation for Vladimir Putin’s hurry to invade Ukraine — it is rumored he has cancer.

News outlets from Belarus to Poland have reported for months that the Russian strongman has cancer of the spinal cord. But my sources say it’s pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal forms of the disease.

Putin is allegedly being treated by an elderly doctor from the old East Germany whom Putin met decades ago while serving in Dresden for the KGB. The doctor has been trying various treatments including steroid shots, which would explain Putin’s puffy appearance.

The physician, who is 84 years old, quit recently, confiding that he hated coming to Russia and was always mistreated by Putin’s security detail.

Crispin Black, the British army veteran who reports on terrorism and intelligence, reported earlier this year that recurring rumors about Putin’s health “are back again with a vengeance.”

Personally, I'm less worried about Putin's health than the physical condition of a pot smoking, coke sniffing gay golfer

Standard behaviour for a Sultan except the classic sultans were indiscriminate in their sexual use of boys and girls..

This would explain some of Putin’s concern about being poisoned... Putin’s not perfect by any means - but he loves his country - so prayers for the man and his loved ones...

Anyone recall the number of stories that ran stating saddam hussein had cancer or a short time to live etc., qaddafi may have tried it also?

While it may be true about Putin, I certainly wouldn’t know,

It also can cause an American administration/state department to wait out their soon demise instead of taking more immediate or aggressive actions, especially if their looking for reasons already not to take action, then this is Putin giving them a pass,

In 1990 if Saddam had only waited for Clinton to be in office, he might still be alive and sitting in his palace in Kuwait,

Its not unlike how those in Iran will keep playing the promise game to get a another 6 months here and there etc., eventually they’ll have reached their finish line and have the bomb,

If it is true, that a narcissistic evil man with dictatorial control over hundreds (if not thousands) of nuclear missiles, with the majority presumably already targeting our homes in America, that on his deathbed he feels somehow greatly wronged by the west, we cannot underestimate what somewhat in that position would do, it could be unexpected

for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 6%. These low survival rates are attributable to the fact that fewer than 20% of patients’ tumors are confined to the pancreas at the time of diagnosis; in most cases, the malignancy has already progressed to the point where surgical removal is impossible.

In those cases where resection can be performed, the average survival rate is 18 to 20 months. The overall five-year survival rate is about 10%, although this can rise as high as 20% to 25% if the tumor is removed completely and when cancer has not spread to lymph nodes.

In patients where a cure is not possible, progression of the disease may be accompanied by progressive weakness, weight loss, and pain. There may be bile duct obstruction which may produce jaundice and stomach obstruction caused by growth of the tumor.

That is about as gay as it gets.

Put that on velvet and sell it at gay bars.

As one of the world’s top kleptocrats, Putin is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Estimates run from the 40 plus billions, to the 70 billions, that he has looted.

Ginsburg had previously had colon cancer, so she had frequent follow-ups, once of which spotted her pancreatic cancer at a very early stage.

Those celebrities not so lucky: Patrick Swayze (20 months), Steve Jobs (7 years survival but he had a very rare form), Donna Reed (six weeks), Ben Gazzara, Michael Landon, Richard Crenna, Rex Harrison, Henry Mancini, Jimmy Carter lost four family members to it.
