Spade_Cooley 9,544 Posted February 21, 2017 He's a goner, this isn't some Wilko Johnson deal, this is a guy with stage 4 pancan who has finished his treatment and will now have a decent enough quality of life before a rapid escalation into hospitalisation and death within two weeks some time between November 2017 and February 2018. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,544 Posted April 25, 2017 Health update here, but Google Translate isn't really helping me take much from it: Quote Well, all the cancer treatments are finally over and you can start building up after this shock. Took my doctor this morning, confirming this to me. This has been a long and strict over six months of treatment-hryna, but now we are getting back up. The rays continue to work and affect me for a few months, but I can promise you that I got up before long, I'm not bothered to lie a lot longer with my toes up. Thanks for all the support and the pat on your back, it's priceless when you walk through something like that, and although I'm not quite 100% up, I remind you that I'm quite coffeey and on the stroll, despite being a little relaxed. We'll see you so much on the stroll in the summertime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,229 Posted April 25, 2017 I'm not 100% sure about that, but it's certainly likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,008 Posted May 24, 2017 Per Twitter chatter, metastases have been discovered in his liver. Still may be operable apparently but even so, a recurrence only about half-a-year from major surgery seems ominous 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,229 Posted May 24, 2017 I don't know who'll go first between Stefansson and Meads. More importantly though, this is probably the end of Golden Slumbers chance of victory sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 24, 2017 So I guess my main team still has a 20/20 chance - but at some point, they actually have to start dying! I think I have at least 6 people "on the clock" as of now (Edit: Though actually, Daisy Berkowitz is probably ok for now, so it's 19/20 at most, realistically.)

GS has the all popular Gord-Leah-Errol-Mikey quartet, plus dead-certs like Van-Zan, Cryne and Nevin if she ain't a fraud. Can't rule out the rest either.

Ah, I'm thinking though that not having the trio of Gilbert, Meads, and Stefansson will cost him. They're worth more than Van-Zan, Cryne, and Nevin (though she may be fraud). I'm not ruling him out though, he certainly got a chance, just needs Brockenshire to survive (looking likely), and Singh not to obit, as well as Ricketts dying to definitely win.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 26, 2017 His gofundme page updated yesterday with the above news, confirming the Twitter chatter: https://www.gofundme.com/2tm9tqk Coincidentally, I compared his case to Patrick Swayze today. Swayze also initially responded well to treatment, but then it metastasized to the liver and it went downhill from there. Swayze died 20 months after the diagnosis, and 9 months after it spread to the liver for the first time. Chemo apparently beat it back for a while until it returned to his liver and then five months later he died. So I'd say Stefan's death will most likely occur between Octobre 2017 and February 2018. However, Swayze was a chain smoker, but also in good physical shape before the illness. And Swayze was a bit older. So Stefan Karl is still slightly more likely to die in 2018 than in 2017, I'd say. 60-40 chance or something like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
