I also remember him saying that he had 2-3 months at most
what happened?
I don't want him to die, but has there been an explanation to this I might have missed?
Thane not dead?

Dunno why people keep saying he only has 2 months. He states he has about 8 to 12 months before his illness overcomes him.

And there was this Cerberus News update that might have hinted at a cure for his problem too.

-- Source07/13/2010 - Eupulmos Device Helping Victims of Respiratory Diseases
“A new technology is helping victims of the Vallum Blast breathe easier -- literally. Researchers at U. Thierax are attacking the myriad of respiratory diseases caused by inhaling dust around the blast site. Dubbed "medi-gel for the lungs," the Eupulmos Device analyzes a patient's tissue or medicard record before adjusting its virally-delivered superdrugs to match the patient's genetic predispositions. After that, the mister sprays the aerosol into the patient's nasal passages and the drug is absorbed into the lungs. The mister can also deliver microsurgery machines to make non-invasive repairs to tissue and has a color-coded nozzle at each end with separate agent reservoirs for dextro and levo patients. Said one ER staffer, "The effect is incredible. In a year, the whole galaxy will be using these things."”

Thane's condition is a bit different from the problems addressed by that drug. His problem isn't dust or damage to the lungs, IIRC.

That's true, Dean. I'm not really counting on that drug to do anything, though it's a plausibility.

He could also have changed his mind about seeking a transplant.

I don't want there to be a magical cure, not everything can have a happy ending. If he is going to survive I would prefer it if he lied about dying in the first place as part of some plan that we'll find out about in ME3. But that might ruin his character for some people so I can't see that happening.

It shouldn't be magical, but it's hardly a stretch that someone like Mordin could do better than the Hanar jellyfish people if he put his mind to it. He cured a collector created plague pretty quickly.
We already know that Thane could choose to prolong his life if he got treatment so I think his death from keprals would be a pretty cheap and unnecessary dramatic device. I think his survival should be linked with Mordins. No Mordin = No cure.

thats really lame. his entire character and story arch was about coming to terms with his death, reflecting on his life and trying to redeem past wrongs. curing him would ruin his character. i blame the fans.

Er... hardly, he had already come to terms with his death when we meet him, the story arc actually has him re-evaluate this and renew his value of his own life. He now has at least one reason to live (his renewed connection with his son) and maybe two... Siha.

Granted Mordin is a genius but the Hanar have a lot of experience with the Drell, maybe there is no cure to be found. To me its been established that Thane is dying, it might be sad but that's life, some things just can't be fixed. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe everything will work out perfectly, Thane will get his cure and we'll find out the Reapers aren't evil they just need a hug.

I have to agree. I think any cure to me would be 'magical' in that it will have to pop up where there was none before, just in time to save him, but after we've spent an entire game being told about him dying. It would make all of ME2 seem like a ploy for our sympathies.Clonedzero wrote...

Hope we get the option to help him decide to either go out in a final blaze of glory or to convinve him to hold on in case a cure does become available.

Thane's imminent death is his choice. The Lotsb dossier on him contains his medical records that state he is a viable transplant patient, if he changed his mind and took this option his life would be prolonged (don't know how long for) without any magical means. Considering the new turn his life has taken it would seem to be pretty selfish of Thane to *not* try and prolong his life, at the very least for the sake of Kolyat.

I was talking about a cure, not the transplant. A transplant wouldn't be a permanent solution. It would be less random, but again it seems like a sympathy ploy to make the second game all about his inevitable death and then suddenly it's not so inevitable. It would make more sense if you romanced him considering that last scene where he suddenly realized he wanted to live, but in most of my plays that never happened, he's still content with dying and whatnot.wildannie wrote...

Kolyat's grown and can take care of himself. He's already done so so far.

I'm all for his 'cure' being a choice and dependent upon certain criteria. Kolyat can take care of himself, but I reckon he'd prefer his father at least *tried* to stay alive for as long as possible rather than give up.
edit: in most of my plays that's exactly what happens
... cure please!
