Nothing about this story rings true.
First, rarely does anyone have 2 types of cancer at the same time and it would be rarer in a child.
Second, if a brain tumor were found he would be in surgery.
Third, if he were 2 weeks from death he would be in hospice.
Fourth, no doctor would tell someone they have 2 weeks to live at the time of diagnosis.
All cancers take years to develop.
Talk to his parents and I bet you will hear the truth.

I am a cancer registrar.



A fatal disease is nothing to joke about, but it sounds like this kid may be playing a head game. Unless he had nausea, vomiting, or one of several other symptoms of acute distress, it is unlikely that he is going to die of cancer- or anything else- in two weeks. To test him, ask who is doctor is and what type of cancer is involved. Ask him if he has told his family. What was their reaction? At some point, he will trip up. A lie like this cannot be sustained in the face of even moderately probing questions. The "facts" underlying such a lie interconnect with too many other things that cannot be faked.

After he admits that he lied, simply say "You aren't going to die of cancer, but you are going to die.. "and shoot him in the head. Then go for a slice of pizza or a movie.



my friend died of brain cancer, but it took 6 months and they tried to give him chemo therapy, but it didn't work, and in the end, he basically was just given pain killers and died. He was only 19 at the time.

Chemo therapy never cures brain cancer..so it really just depends on if you want to die in 2 weeks, or maybe in 7 months instead...



Is is possible? Anything is possible. It is highly unlikely that it will happen. Keep a positive attitude, eat healthy and exercise. This will clear the mind and cure the body.



If the cancer was forming for years, then it could of spreaded throughout the body, but i don't know how big it is, but if it spreaded its possible that he does have limited life with no treatment



Somebody's lying...What Denise said, plus being 16, his parents would've had to have been there and he'd be recovering from surgery.

To the other poster...brain cancer doesn't spread..

i had brain cancer



You will soon find out if he is telling the truth or not.



IDK... wait 2 weeks and find out.
