“Overall five year survival rate in the United States is 73%. For cancers that are confined to the kidney, the five year survival rate is 92%, if it has spread to the surrounding lymph nodes it is 65%, and if it has metastasized, it is 12%.”
From Hirono’s wikipedia:
“Hirono announced in May 2017 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, which had spread to her seventh rib. The cancer was discovered following a chest x-ray in April before some minor eye surgery. Her right kidney was removed surgically on May 17, 2017, with a Cyberknife procedure to treat the rib lesion. Hirono returned to the Senate on May 22, 2017, and is running for re-election in 2018.”
So when you overlay the survival numbers with her condition, it isn’t really a good picture for her. Leaves you wondering why she’s running again.
she’s using all this stuff to raise funds for her re-election bid:
Republicans are launching a coordinated attack on Mazie, Team — and we need to fight back before it’s too late.
It started last month when fringe conservatives like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity attacked Mazie for being an effective and powerful voice throughout the chaos in Washington this past month.
Now, some of Trump’s strongest allies in Washington — like Senator Lindsey Graham — are attacking Mazie. No doubt, they’re testing the waters to see if they can do damage to our re-election campaign ahead of the general election just 28 days from now. We can’t let it work.
Rush a donation of $3 or more to Mazie’s re-election campaign before these attacks begin to take their toll. We need your help today to fight back against Trump’s allies and the right wing swamp.
Nothing is going to stop Mazie from doing her job and fighting for our values and for the people of Hawaii, especially if she knows folks like you have her back against these nasty attacks.

<< “ .....the survival numbers with her condition, it isn’t really a good picture for her. Leaves you wondering why she’s running again.” >>
Honestly, it strikes me that she’s running on hate. She has nothing else, possibly. If accurate, that’s a human tragedy worse than death.
Demonrats only leave office when they have to be carried out feet first.
Just like Loser McCain, knowing death is nearly upon them, w/ many difficulties before it happens, that allows Scum like her to try + have an effect that SHE DESIRES upon the USA, before she assumes room temperature. Doesn’t get much clearer than that.
