Holy shit he might actually beat it

@AlDefinitely No, the targeted therapies are not a cure, but they are extending progression free time by impressive numbers.

@AlDefinitely He won't and he says he won't

@AlDefinitely Well he does have the best tax payer funded healthcare

@AlDefinitely Stage 4 pancreatic cancer isn’t something you beat. All you can hope to do is prolong your life as long as you can. The 5 year survival rate is 3%

@AlDefinitely @ModerateDemocr1 Let’s hope not

@AlDefinitely I think it's just buying him more time sadly

@AlDefinitely He won't sadly

@AlDefinitely From your mouth to God's ears.

@AlDefinitely He’s never said that. He’s going to die. If he makes it to the new year that will be amazing.

@AlDefinitely Sadly, no. Terminal illnesses often have their ups and downs, especially with aggressive (and experimental) treatments. My dad had those types of ups and downs when he had terminal brain cancer, but the disease wins in the end…😔

@AlDefinitely Your lips to gods ears. Would truly be a miracle. Makes me smile a great deal how much medical research can do

@AlDefinitely A cancer drug he probably voted against funding for when he was a Senator.

@AlDefinitely Yey!!!! Fills me with hope.

@AlDefinitely I’m hoping he keeps getting positive news

@AlDefinitely I hope he does. Fuck cancer.

@AlDefinitely That’s not what Ben Sasse said in the interview. He’s describing the latest treatment, which is truly a breakthrough, but not a cure.

@AlDefinitely I have never rooted so hard for a Republican before. Go Ben!!!

@AlDefinitely Im not a medical expert but I don't think that's a good sign.

@AlDefinitely He says the opposite. This is giving him longer time on this Earth but the end is coming.

@AlDefinitely No. He won’t. The new drug is an amazing advancement but absolutely not curative

@AlDefinitely Now imagine if the entire country had access to this drug and not just ex congressman and billionaires :)

@AlDefinitely Unfortunately I think with this type of cancer all you're really doing is buying time. It's great, but ultimately they call it terminal for a reason.

@AlDefinitely The Ben Sasse apology tour would be a miracle

@AlDefinitely Not really how it works

@AlDefinitely No, he won't This is prolonging the time he has with his family.

@AlDefinitely In the video, he acknowledges he’s doing well but says the situation is still bad and probably won’t survive it

@AlDefinitely Why is everyone falling for this sob-story instead of asking that odious guy how he can be a member of party that does everything to shut down this kinda research plus tries to deny normal non wealthy access to these treatments?

@AlDefinitely For a few years. But any time is precious.

@AlDefinitely Least deserved survival ever

@AlDefinitely He’ll be dead by next June
