Oh wow, says he has '2 to 4 years to live' (in so far doctors can do more than give a rough estimate with these things). Damn.

2-4 years is not a short time to enjoy life - the question is what will life be like after 2 years? Will it not be full of pain in hospice and under morphine?

Sure, but if you're 48, you've got two young children and a wife with a very strong form of MS, having 2 years left isn't exactly a great look. And that is, indeed, if those 2 years are somewhat 'healthy' instead of being full with painkillers and such.

Sven Goran Eriksson probably had 1 year to live after the diagnosis but it was a good life or so it looked like - he traveled, for example, he was in Rome at the Lazio stadium in the spring. If he felt really bad, he probably wouldn't have traveled. I hope it's similar for Hoy, although unfortunately cancer with metastases to the guests can cause severe pain :(

Happened to the rock guitarist Wilko Johnson.  He was also given a short time to live but survived for nine years.

my mom was given a 2-month diagnosis with leukemia...she survived 23 months, a few of them even with decent quality of life

 

but I wish you'll never ever get to experience what being a "dead man/woman walking" (or living every single day of that period beside him/her) means ;)

Any idea where a full schedule can be found yet? I remember last seasons the website was always godawful in terms of providing that basic kind of information..
