He probably won't survive it, but no need to private message him just to tell him that he's dying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking that's a bit optimistic, and he is certainly a lot less active on social media than he was at the start of the year. I still think he's a 2021 death. He said that also before his diagnosis so it’s not a new feeling. The other day he posted pics of his kids and said he had been sent him by his wife while having treatment so he is still having regular treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,236 Posted September 17, 2021 Susie Steiner tweeted her last tweet in January. If she can hang on for 9 months during the "end game", so can Tom, easily. Chris Doleman lasted a full two years. Susie Steiner currently 2 years and five months. I guess there are those cases where treatment doesn't work at all from the very beginning, like Paul Westphal, who only survived for about half a year., but Tom's seems to keep it at bay. He was diagnosed in Octobre 2020 - if he's on the better timeline, he might even survive 2022. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
