Death was equally apt in more than one way. Really awful news and I feel for the rest of the family.

 

"Carrie DeKlyen qualified to be in a University of Michigan clinical trial that doctors told her might have extended her life another 10, possibly 20 years. She and her husband declined the treatment because they are Christians and would have had to terminate the pregnancy for her to get chemotherapy. "

 

 

Those poor children.

As much as I agree with your sentiment I sincerely doubt she would have lasted even a year with advanced glioblastoma.10_20. years sounds implausible but could have given her a few more precious months or a year or two at best.

I don't doubt she wouldn't have  lasted more than 5 years with glioblastoma, but despite that grim prognosis, she could've spent more time with her children had she went with chemo instead of giving birth to a child that wouldn't have lived longer anyways. That what really annoys me.

The baby could have survived though.The fact it didn't is a wonderful hindsight.Carrie had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest in April so clearly wouldnt have seen out the decade.She could habe at least had a few quality months with her kids before cancer took over.Very sad case all around.

Also, depends what her doctors told her about the baby's likely survival odds.

17 year old Y-Lena G-reen is about 5% of the way to a funding target for medical treatment that may (just) stop her suffering multiple bone dislocations every day.

Actually a deserving and sad case to contrast with one or two hereabouts who might best be described as malingering attention sponges.

Noel Conway loses his case for the right to die:

Ironically such losses tend to precede a death by "natural" causes or similar.

 

Surely he's looking forward to Christmas; it'll be those depressing early days of 2018 that finally do for him, right?

Jordan Lotter gets an indirect obit:

And you get a name for your lists.

 

And this also means that the theme team score record gets broken by Shameless, just a couple of days after the main competition broke the score record.

The "name for your lists" was Jake Andrews and he died on February 25th:

No obit.

It seems it hasn't been posted yet that Eva Echevarria, aka "Johnson & Johnson baby powder gave me cancer and I got 323 million pounds in compensation" has died by now:

Bobby Zarin on course to become the Monty Brinson of 2018, now that his cancer has supposedly taken a turn for the worse, again:

But it's Radar Online, the poor man's National Enquirer... and her instagram page does not reflect the article, so beware...

 Poor man's NE because they only have "last days" right? The concept of days being sadder than others doesn't compute to their largely bovine readership.

Is it at all possible to judge the success or otherwise of a head transplant on a corpse?

 

Unless they've successfully gone down the whole re-animation/Frankenstein route?

Chrissy Brajcic, who brought awareness to vaginal mesh implant dangers, dies at 42.  Gets a solid QO.  Seems like a bit of a miss for Shameless 2.0, but I certainly know cuts need to be made when teams turned in.
