Sean 6,329 Posted February 19, 2021 Depends on the type of lung cancer although all types have a terrible prognosis.When you think that people like Dustin Diamond and A.A Gill died within weeks of being diagnosed.Limbaugh lasted 13 months and Leah Bracknell who I think I read had a rarer type of lung cancer only lasted just 3 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,329 Posted February 19, 2021 And none of them were anywhere near the grand age or extreme frailty of Bob Dole. Reckon we are talking weeks not months here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted February 21, 2021 Yup, visited by Biden- the significant thing is the picture in this article, he really looks awful- they say he is starting treatment on Monday- and the side effects of Chemo are very difficult, even for a younger and stronger person- I think he is not long for this world- maybe the next death on the list, (although I voted for Philip)- He looks like Death Warmed Over! https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-visits-bob-dole-following-lung-cancer-announcement-n1258459?cid=sm_npd_ms_fb_ma&fbclid=IwAR2EnRtAOb-JTpCHDLCt55bJPqS9p6Mee7KajJaF1gbO9EpYL3nxlygCWDA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William1971 8 Posted February 21, 2021 I think that Dole will be like Limbaugh. Lasts a little over a year and dies. I think he's going to die between Late 2021 and Early 2022 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted February 21, 2021 It says a lot that he's seeking treatment at 97, especially for a fast moving cancer that has already spread. I still don't think he makes it past March or April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InquilineKea 75 Posted February 23, 2021 On 18/02/2021 at 09:30, Grim Up North said: You are right - in US the odds of surviving 5 years at 95 for all 95 year old men is 17.03% and at 100 is 8.71% so for all 98 year olds must be in region of 12%. So having lung cancer at 98 halves your chances of living for 5 years. However I can't believe that is stage 4 lung cancer.

They've lost the Senate, Sheldon Adelson, George Shultz, and Rush Limbaugh, and now Bob Dole looks nailed on for this year. Kind of like 2018 when they lost McCain, the Bushes, and the House.
