You'd have to weigh two factors against each other: 1. Cell division is (generally) slower at 90 than 50, so that alone would contribute to a longer survival time; but 2. Nonagenarians typically are less resilient and have more co-morbidities that shorten their expected survival time and might also mean that doctors are not able to pursue an agressive course of treatment (intensive chemotherapy, extensive surgery etc.). The net effect can vary, but for most cancers, age is an adverse prognostic factor.

Raul, obviously. Los siento por mi estupidez

Depends on the type and stage but generally yes.

Don't old people die of cancer slower than, let's say, 50 year olds?

No. 2017 is lame as a duck, but not the proverbial lame duck. As a duck which is lame because it stepped on a land mine or somewhat.

Mine aren't but then I have another fucking cold and those always interfere with the good old Second Sight...

He will be back in hospital within the next few weeks.

Jeremy Corbyn and Wilfred Bramble

These Reddit types can't even get film spoilers right, so I wouldn't worry about them finding out about top secret government conspiracies.

Great job, man! I believe you're now at 33 points for April, I'd be proud to pass on the Player-of-the-Month torch to ya.

The Scottish spirits let him know. Second sight, you know? Here's a whole exorcism of them.

Blimey, Wyman looks awful. You know what he needs? A nice young woman to make him feel young again.

In DDP terms, you'll like this. Not a lot, but you'll like this. Well the 2 teams that picked him will be cock-a-hoop because I don't think he'll last the year...

Get Sidney Poitier on the list ! ! !

Barbara Walters could be a candidate for next year... Pierre Cardin, the fashion designer, is 93, could be added to

TWIST ENDING ALERT! Well, now they've just jumped the shark...

Phil Chevron of The Pogues was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2007, he didn't die until 2013. Took a couple of years for Nick Curran to die.

Wait, Toast is a female?!?!

How about Rupert Murdoch? Or John Howard?

Elton John has ended the feud with his 90-year old mother: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/sir-elton-john-ended-bitter-7325466 Trying to reconcile before her death? (Yeah, the suggestion is his mom, not Elton) Counterargument: She had double-hip replacement last month and recovered.

Bob Newhart, i don't know if someone mentioned him already

Curtis w. Harris is still alive and in his 90s. He is best known for his civil rights protests and would definitely obit.
