Sad to hear about Rodion had no idea he was batting this.
Maybe I’m misreading your second sentence but Rodion definitely knew that he had brain cancer - he had gone through four chemotherapy treatments.

Brain cancer is awful. The most common form is almost completely terminal and can usually only be slowed by treatment. If that form is in a relatively accessible area surgery can remove a bunch of it but it grows tentacles and is virtually impossible to remove the all of the cells but surgery can extend things for a while.

Neil Peart, Gord Downie, John McCain, and the lead singer of Roxette all were taken away from us by it.
