Anyone know what kind of cancer this guy has? Sounds like some sort of abdominal cancer, but I still don’t know.
Much as I hate Chavez and everything he stands for, I can not wish a horrible death upon him.
I saw an article where doctors were speculating that it was a sarcoma. My aunt had a sarcoma - discovered when, luckily while still relatively small, it caused her pain. The ‘cure’, if you are going to get one, for a sarcoma is surgery. This thing puts out ‘tentacles’ & it is very hard to get ‘clear margins’ if the tumor is very big. Chavez had a baseball size tumor & it evidently recurred after surgery - this is really bad for him. Sarcomas do not respond well to radiation or chemo - the only chemo that is anywhere near effective is also ‘cardio-toxic’ so there is a limit on how much you can get. My aunt is past the 5-year mark (the doc gave her limited chances to make it that far) & that is due to a small tumor & ‘clear margins’ after surgery, plus the cancer had not metastasized anywhere. Sounds like Chavez is not so fortunate.
