RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 2, 2015 https://twitter.com/simonsam/status/572235400757968896/photo/1 Getting his lungs drained. This can't be a good sign, my great-grandmother was admitted to the hospital in January for having too much water in her lungs and she died within a few weeks. But in the other hand, she was 96 and Simon is 59. But on the OTHER hand, she didn't have cancer to worsen the situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 4, 2015 Just checked his Twitter. Somebody posted a photo of him with some person (forgot who) and it was in black in white. It kind of seems like it was a "flashback photo" of "one of the best moments I had with Sam", you know something you would post after a death. So either he died and it was unannounced for some reason, or he's extremely close to death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,330 Posted March 4, 2015 Sam won`t commit suicide.His determination to live is clear.The tweets are clearly in relation to his treatment stopping working which means he probably has weeks at most to live due the advanced stage of his illness..He has also had a number of complications with his blood infection and port and has also had organ draining etc which has highlighted his dire situation to those around him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Stopping treatment" would make no sense. Doctors briefed him that the chemo ceased to be effective, and since it wasn't the first drug combo that they tried (the first line treatment also stopped working a while ago), there are likely no viable options left for him (and his doctors) that could extend his life. Any treatment that he still gets is likely palliative in nature (painkillers/sedatives etc.), so stopping them would only make things worse for him. I agree with Shaun of the Dead that he doesn't seem to be the type that'd opt for suicide, and even if he's in pain and discomfort, he'd surely think about his girlfriend ( http://t.co/5zYU0EMQk1 ) and fight til his last breath. On the other hand, he could accidentally overdose ona tivan or opioids since his carers would likely care more about his suffering than the long-term effects of his excessive drug intake.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 4, 2015 Is it bad that I'm literally checking his Twitter account every half hour just waiting to see the tweet "Sam passed away peacefully today at __PM in his sleep". I mean, it's not that I want him to die... but, well... you Deathlisters probably know that feeling when you just know the person is going to die and you just keep waiting for updates even though you liked them. It's not evil, is it? I'm not a bad person, am I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 7, 2015 No tweets in 3 days. Can't be a good sign. I mean, the guy usually tweets 20 times per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted March 7, 2015 No tweets in 3 days. Can't be a good sign. I mean, the guy usually tweets 20 times per day. That's kind of understandable. His doctors told him that his chemo stopped working, so they can't do anything for him besides giving him sedatives and painkillers. I guess he also feels depressed 'cause he knows what this means. His quality of life would only get worse from this point and he only has weeks if not days to live. One thing that is common in terminal cancer patients near the end of their lives is that they always feel tired even though they sleep a lot and don't move around much. And in Sam's case, sedatives can also contribute to that since he asks for large (perhaps larger than recommended) doses from his nurses. As he's a terminal patient in constant pain and discomfort, they have no reason to deny his requests since tolerance/addiction is now a lesser concern. But if you still want tweets, you could also follow his staff and friends at http://twitter.com/samsimonnews and his girlfriend at http://twitter.com/katastraphe007 . They might be the first channels to announce his eventual demise... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
