All Bladder Cancer had a 50% 10 year survival rate in 2011 (incidentally making it about average for Cancers). I can see the word 'serious' in some of the headlines but have yet to see it in a quote from him yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just reading between the lines I get the feeling it could be more serious than most ,but maybe I'm reading it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So out of curiosity, I checked up on Nick Boles, and well, got confused because he recently said that he battled non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/tory-mp-returns-to-officially-open-hospital-unit-that-cured-him-of-blood-cancer-a3863936.html And here I thought he had brain cancer.... But then I guess it all makes sense if he was diagnosed with lymphoma of the brain: https://www.myvmc.com/diseases/lymphoma-of-the-brain/#Prognosis Relpases frequently occur within two years, followed by a quick death within months. But then I guess, some of you may have known the kind of diagnosis before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted November 3, 2018 Blanco was just at a ceremonial thing-a-ma-jig at Univ of Louisiana-Lafayette not a month ago. She's upright and at least that much active. Literally zero percent chance of her dying before New Years. Will she see 2020? I'd say nearing a zero percent chance of that too lol! She better not only be D40 -- Kathleen Blanco should be on the actual DeathList. Big name, big health problems. SC 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,938 Posted November 16, 2018 There doesn't seem to be a thread solely for directors and Hollywood doesn't fit the bill. Could be wrong on both counts. Don't care. Jorn Winther dead at 88 in a car smash, was the director for the Frost/Nixon interviews, so in here he pops. https://eu.desertsun.com/story/news/traffic/2018/11/15/sherman-oaks-man-identified-victim-fatal-palm-desert-collision/2011164002/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeremy Corbyn 89 Posted November 16, 2018 Visited my good friend Paul Flynn yesterday; pleased to say he is slowly recovering but as a post says above, he will sadly be retiring from parliament very soon.
