Very sad, a genuine nice guy, top entertainer, and driving god.

So sad and so cruel to die so young and in such a manner.

Sad to say, brain tumours are almost usually fatal - if it's aggresive, it can be six months, if it's not so aggresive, it can be up to ten years (with constant medication).

I kinda took no news as good news. Im not massively into rallying, I do watch it when I can tho.

It was his calm soothing voice that stopped me from throwing my DFP steering wheel out of the window when playing the only decent rallying game around. Also the fricking hardest.

My niece, aged 3 at the time, had a brain tumour. After surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, its gone. There are good survivability rates on brain tumours unless they're right in the middle of the brain.

Yes it also depends on how much they cut out - they can never guarantee a 100% removal of the tumour because of the "tentacle" like nature of brain tumours. I'm not saying everyone dies, but malignant tumours are usually very bad news, particularly in the elderly.
