Sean 5,997 Posted June 26, 2017 Seems plausible he could last 6 months but 18 months seems highly unlikely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,231 Posted June 27, 2017 Ahem, yes, that reduces his life expectancy. No 2018 after all. There were some calls to treat him in another country. But if it's useless... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,022 Posted July 10, 2017 BEIJING (AP) — The hospital treating imprisoned Chinese Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo said Monday his condition is now critical and doctors are in "active rescue" mode for China's best-known political prisoner. The First Hospital of China Medical University said in a statement that Liu, who has liver cancer, is suffering from a severely swollen stomach, low blood pressure and poor kidney function. An MRI scan also revealed growing cancer lesions. The lesions have caused localized bleeding in his liver, the statement said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
