Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 3, 2016 I won't be at home for a couple weeks yet and can't look up a full list of names, but Rob Ford was definitely on my DL Salvage Lot. I couldn't bring myself to buy in for 2016. 2017 he'd be hard to pass up. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted March 8, 2016 Rob Ford has precision therapy for rare cancer: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-precision-chemotherapy-cancer-treatment-1.3479819 I don't quite get what they are doing with the mice there... Sounds to me like a long but ultimately futile fight. The potential Sam Simon/Martin Crowe of 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 8, 2016 Rob Ford has precision therapy for rare cancer: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-precision-chemotherapy-cancer-treatment-1.3479819 I don't quite get what they are doing with the mice there... Sounds to me like a long but ultimately futile fight. The potential Sam Simon/Martin Crowe of 2017. I can't explain the mice either. Perhaps they're used in satanic rituals. IFAIK Ford is fucked. That's why he's one of my DDP picks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 8, 2016 Mice ? Updated treatment from the Richard Gere therapy of the 80's. He's fucked, almost sweepable.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 8, 2016 Actually , if it takes 3 months for the mice to grow the cancer they must think he'll live that long. But..... Late summer at longest. July 16th. (Summer up here is July 14-17th)... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 9, 2016 Rob Ford? No no he's a fighter.August 2, 2017. Which means it's simply months too early for a sweeps, imho. Let's see what's up around June. SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted March 9, 2016 He's sweepable, because his cancer was apparently declared terminal. “The problem is — with this disease — there is no cure,” said Doug. Btw if we really need to find an analogy here, I'd compare him to Hugo Chavez instead of Simon or Crowe. He's a controversial politician, just like Chavez, he has sarcoma, just like Chavez, and he's gonna die of it, just like Chavez. If his bro says that he's already fighting for his life, that's clearly a bad sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some patients die before the mice are 'ready'. The original boy who got treated this way is alive 6 years later. Given he ain't the healthiest cock in the walk , I'll stick with my timescale .

msc 18,439 Posted March 18, 2016 I saw a mention of palliative care last night but figured it might be twitter talk. If so, funny how a pick can go from a potential waste to a potential ten points suddenly in the space of a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
