this is what my mom had. they found 9 spots. depending on where they are and how many/big, they are treatable with radio-therapy. it worked very well to shrink them down so they could then focus on her lung cancer. it is quite a painless thearapy that directly targets each spot. chemo for her lung cancer was much worse and the cancer had spread. cancer is absolutely brutal
he could live quite awhile with it if it doesnt spread

1 report says it's incurable. .terrible news ..

Roll Call alert.
PS - I advise against looking at their FB page...there's some serious ' what about me and my city ' bullshit on there.

It really is feeling like George RR Martin is writing the plot for 2016. Too many legends are leaving us.
