A lot of people live beyond their estimated timeframe, and many don't look like death is nigh either. Some just show outwardly in the final weeks or even days. There's a good few on here too. In fact, there's someone close to a decade or maybe more. Type of cancer matters too. Could be a very slow growing one. Basically, there are many variables.

When doctors give people a timeframe, it's only an educated guess, not an exact science. Some people succumb well before their estimated timeframe, some in the middle, and some well beyond it.

I'm not saying he's legit, but he may not be lying at all. His post prognosis habits simply may be a case of "why the hell not". It's not as if smoking is gonna give him even more of a terminal diagnosis if he already at that stage.

I won't lie, I'm not sure i wouldn't just be living it up large and not thinking twice about my bad habits if my time was severely restricted.

My wife, whilst receiving her chemo, was sat next to a woman that has had terminal breast cancer for over 2 decades. She shouldn't be here according to the doctors, but she is and looked and acted fairly healthy.
