Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 21, 2015 April? I'm almost mad I put him on my list. October 13, "it's 5:00 somewhere". With a mere 78 days left in 2015, DLers will breathe a sigh of relief. SirC Seeing that all but about 3 people picked an April date, this is beginning to look better. I reiterate he is one I'd not have on my team at all with a do over.

Usually you have weeks left rather than months but its looking like 60/40 he dies in 2015 . Could go down to the wire with him dying in mid to late december.

Usually you have weeks left rather than months but its looking like 60/40 he dies in 2015 . Could go down to the wire with him dying in mid to late december. I have to confess that I don` t know very much about his particular type of cancer only that it is extremely aggressive and gets you quickly.If he makes September he will be in the 5% of sufferers that make the one year mark.I reckon he will be gone in about 2 weeks.He has been very open about "giving up" which usually means you don`t last as long.I wonder what the median survival rate is for hospice patients.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 27, 2015 In my good old US of A one cannot get hospice care unless they've no hope of living beyond 6 months. Generally 6 weeks is closer to the truth. Not sure how it works Down Under. Alls Sir Creep knows is his Oct 23 guess needs some damn good hospicing. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going into a hospice to give your carer a break is one thing, but this seems to be the key line in that report: "Friends say Crowe is now housebound and his condition has deteriorated significantly since he was last seen in public during the Cricket World Cup in March."

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted July 27, 2015 Yeah, I think he wasn't so much hospice placed because he is a week away from dying, but rather he is incapable of looking after himself now and thus needed the care when his wife was away. Which could mean that he's about to die anyway. I wouldn't hold out hope for him making 2016, put it that way, and I think this will turn out to be the key death in the DDP this year.

Phantom 2,534 Posted July 27, 2015 I think we could be reading too much in to this and missing one very important detail "Crowe is back at home with his family, but was cared for at the hospice when his wife Lorraine Downes had to travel." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
