A teacher at my old school when I was there was given 6 months to live due to terminal cancer in the late 90s he eventually died about 10 years later, so it does happen. He did have the big fella on his side though as he was the Religious Education teacher and he also had 10 kids as he didn’t believe in contraception. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted August 17, 2018 Now pretty much everybody who has cancer died except her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philheybrookbay 439 Posted August 17, 2018 I’ll say this, but that treatment has got her to two years which is the normal extreme of lung cancer diagnosis. Clearly draining her lungs is assisting her life span. Im also guessing that this was isolated as a primary site given that if this was secondary she’d have gone by now. Whilst a tad frustrating deathlist wise, does anyone have any ideas how long past 2 years the medical extremes can go on for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the fact she's getting the lung drains at this point suggest she's not in that 8%. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm - dunno; that reads much like someone who's grasp of the moment is so strong the plot as the rest of us would understand it exists at some distance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
