Question
I was just wondering what the source is on the following...
"Given the nature of the advanced formations of the tumor, the location, the personality references he mentions in the note left at his home, and Whitman's complaints of nausea and headaches, Whitman would have died from the tumor within a short time."
You put a link to Wikipedia's article on brain tumors at the end. I don't see that in the article. Where is it from? If it's not from a source, it's speculation and we generally don't permit that. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 16:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Answer
Detection is diagnosis. Doctors of yesteryear and today mis-diagnosis many ailments. That's why the diagnosis may not come 'til after an autopsy, as is the case of Whitman. He asked for an autopsy as stated in the article. The findings were Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most advance form of brain cancer and inoperable in Whitman's time and today.
From the prognosis area of the link:
Patients with benign gliomas may survive for many years7,8 while survival in most cases of glioblastoma multiforme is limited to a few months after diagnosis.Subwayjack 21:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)S

Blocked indefinitely
You have been blocked indefinitely for constant gaming of the system, unsourced POV pushing and disruption. You've been given every opportunity to behave. The final straw is these constant "I quit" messages followed by POV pushing edits. There is a huge difference between your unsourced speculative edits (such as that what Whitman did was caused by depression, drugs, et all) and the fact that he killed people from the rooftop. And you know that. But you constantly violate WP:POINT, Wikipedia:Verifiability and numerous other policies despite numerous explanations and warnings. Enough. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 06:18, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
