                  What was the original cancer/tumour?

                  ED: Just searched - it was originally in his back - now it's spread and he's ****ed.

                  Pretty poor that that his beloved club tanked in the last season he'll see.

                  Never saw him play - what was he like?
                  The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

                      It was a cancerous lump in his back that had spread.

                          How do you know he is going to die. Aren't they still waiting for test results? Not every dies from a brain tumour...

                                  Know much about metastatic cancer? Sadly it's highly likely he's ****ed.

                                          Secondary mets are not good.

                                                  Sadly, agreed.

                                                  I'm no doctor but I've worked on oncology drugs and my best guess is that the first one they found in his back was a secondary, and it's rapidly spread since then.

                                                      How do they treat metastatic cancer when it's spread like that? What just a combo of radiation and chemo, but how do they get all the cells. I'm a little confused with how they CAN treat cancer that is metastatic.

                                                          Do their best with chemo and radiation knowing that the patient is ****ed, and than eventually palliative care (lots of drugs), and they die in a lot of pain.

                                                          The brave ones forgo chemo and radiation and when it gets real bad, top themselves.
