12. My neighbor had a seizure, they found a tumor, and he was dead in two months.

And he was a very young guy, only in his thirties. He was a big strong healthy guy (though he did smoke) and went from apparently perfect health to being dead in two months.

It depends on the kind of cancer, where it is, how established it is, a lot of factors. People have a tendency to hope, even when the odds are bad. From the sound of people in the know (did you hear Senator Byrd today?) it seems apparent that those who have heard the prognosis are getting ready to let go, and perhaps expecting that it won't be a long wait.
