Just got a prognosis. Stage 4 gliobalblastoma (sp?). Terminal.  21 month average lifespan with treatment.

That sucks. Too young.  My dad died of brain cancer when he was 67.  About 6 months after diagnosis.  The hard part will be watching the cancer progress while she deteriorates and knowing nothing can be done.  Your friend will need your support more than ever, even if he doesn’t ask for it.

My best friends wife passed 2 weeks ago. She was diagnosed in January with liver/stomach/ pancreas cancer. Treatments were trending positive and they gave her 6-8 yrs. 1 month later, gone. 

Sucks.  Sorry, Joe.

Mom's best friend died of stomach cancer a few weeks ago.  A month prior, she was on Vegas with her daughter living her best life.  Starts having stomach pain, goes into the doc and they tell her cancer.  A month later, dead.  58 years old, was like a mom when I was growing up.  Cancer sucks.

 

My aunts mom died last night.  She had dementia.   Such a horrible disease.   Honestly thought she was going to go last year, but she was a fighter.

58 was like a mom to you? How fucking old are you?

When I was running the restaurant in Perrysburg, our regular jazz singer who performed every weekend got sick and went to the doctor. They found a giant tumor in her stomach. She was dead within days. Had just cut a demo and everything. Funeral was in Toledo's largest black Baptist church, with two pews of white guys (us) there.
