That's too bad for Stefan. You can only wish him all the best and hope that everything will go well, even if it is unfortunately unlikely.

Sad. But he did a lot of great things with the time he had, and if he doesn't make it at least we know he was happy in the end and went in peace.

Re: Stefan Karl Diagnosed With Cancer

Stefán has received the official news from his doctors that his tumors have been diagnosed as inoperable. His time remaining is estimated at 10-12 months, assuming that everything goes as planned. There is no going back. There is no cure. There is nothing that can be done to stop the clock, though he is planning to try to slow it a bit with chemotherapy, which he will be starting soon. He wants his fans to know that he loves us from the bottom of his heart, that the support, love, and care that he has been showered with has been unbelievable, and has made a real difference in his life.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, not fair.

It really is devastating news (even knowing that such a diagnosis was highly probable).

There is not much that can be said about it, beyond what has already been said.

The only thing I can add from my side (learned from two very dear relatives that I lost due to cancer and several friends who still suffer and fight against it) is that each day of life is in itself a small miracle (even knowing with certainty that you have very little time left) because is a unexpected chance to make every moment really matters.

And, as Stefán says, you MUST take advantage of the MAXIMUM possible time to be with your loved ones (family and friends) and show them your appreciation and affection. At the end, it's all that matters and fills the spirit, regardless of whether you're 1 year old or 100.

Even so, my heart feels a deep sadness for Stefán's condition...
