I have a nurse friend who does a lot of work with cancer patients, particularly at end stage. Her take is that Rob's long-term outlook is poor, but that his doctors will be able to treat his condition for some time to come. He may well be on the ballot in 2018, but he will also likely be dealing with cycles of treatment and recurrence. No way know how that will line up with election cycles, thought. (Also learned some very interesting stuff about cancer genetics in that convo.)
What if they do the surgery and there are complications? It is pretty invasive and his obesity makes it quite risky.
