It is really hard to say at this point how bad it is. Mind, his age alone is the biggest factor he has working against him. But we don't know anything specific about the tumor itself.

I also hope we aren't made privvy to that info. It isn't any of our fucking business.

I will say this: he has more going for him than most people simply because of his wealth and access to the best specialists in the world. They could keeping him going for awhile.

But at his age, nothing will work for long. And the emotional hit you take when you learn about the tumors is pretty substantial, so for someone like him who has been healthy enough to stay in the political arena for as long as he has, he may just want to not return after the summer recess, and fade away gracefully. Because of the problems he could have, I just don't see a return to the public arena for him.

But what the hell do I know besides nil about how Teddy boy feels?
