>Maeda has chosen not to pursue active treatment
I really don't get this, he isn't particularly old nor is that kind of cancer particularly deadly.
I mean it is his choice but he would've likely pulled through which makes this particularly sad.

I had someone in my family die of cancer. I understand why you don't get this because of how the announcement is written, but to anyone who has experience with cancer this announcement pretty much directly spells out "His cancer was missed for so long that he's now in the very late stages of stage 4 cancer and there's pretty much no chance of recovery, only painful extension of life expectancy through highly aggressive chemotherapy"

For example, while it says he has pharyngeal cancer, due to show cancer spreads throughout the body once you hit stage 4 that doesn't really matter anymore. The diagnosis is still correct, but it really only indicates the origin point. You now have cancer all over, it can even spread into your bones.
For him to have chosen palliative care in this way means that his doctors are confident there's an extremely high chance he is going to die in the near future regardless, and gave him the options of:
>A: Fill your body with radioactive material and suffer the consequences of that, live for 1-2 years IF the chemotherapy produces average results. Puke your brains out, lose all your hair, suffer a ton of other consequences. You might get unlucky and it won't even work. Really not realistic to promise a patient a miracle will happen this far into the disease.
>B: Proceed as you are, spend your last few months doing whatever you want while you slowly grow weaker. We'll try to suppress your pain with every drug available to us.

Cancer announcements are written the way they are to avoid having to write something like "Some of his basic bodily functions have already failed, he has tumors all throughout his body, the medical opinion of his doctors is that there is no point in surgical operations. He will die in a few months."

He was already living on borrowed time with his transplanted heart, I doubt it would have survived the treatment.

>I had someone in my family die of cancer.
My condolences.
Fuck, it's really weird knowing that he's going to die soon. It's going to feel pretty strange reading any of his works again.

Everyone dies eventually, so I don't get how it would be strange compared to any other paragon in visual novels/anime/manga dying.

Jun Maeda became a yuri fag and all the recent key games have been shit.

I still hope he survives the cancer but he hasn't produced a single good product since clannad.

It seems like Maeda's always suffering. This really sucks and I wish him all the best. I still think he's a genius.

>Everyone dies eventually
Of course. It is more that he's relatively young and that it is quite a tragic way to go.
I sometimes feel weird seeing pre-2019 KyoAni stuff for this reason too. Might be a personal thing.

>>51343159
visual novels aren't that old, there ain't many paragons that have died. I'm sure theirs some rare oldfags that got into it at 50 in the late 80s, but anyone dying now is doing so too young to be dying.

vaxxxed?

>>51342668
Clannad was an autobiography all along?!

maybe if he didn't write forced drama he wouldn't get cancer

>>51341623
vaxx status?

Time to reread some of his works I guess...
