The extensive 777-pages of medical records are clear\u00a0that Doyle\u2019s cancer and medical condition has taken a turn for the worse since March 2017. The medical records reflect that, back in 2014, Doyle suffered from a very serious cancer in the skull and lymph nodes. At the time, on June 6, 2014, for instance, it was determined that Doyle suffered from \u201cthe presence of a tumor extending through the foramina into the pterygoid space and into the middle cranial fossa. There is involvement of the cavernous sinus as well as extension into the left side of the nasopharynx.\u201d <em>See <\/em>Donaldson Correctional Facility Medical Records, p. 111. At that time in 2014, there were indications that there was a risk of \u201cinvolvement of the spinal fluid,\u201d which was why the doctors requested and received \u201capproval from the prison medical clinic for the patient to have a lumbar puncture with cytology\u201d and recommended that the doctors \u201cproceed with radiation therapy as [Mr. Hamm] is going to require some form of local treatment even if he takes systemic chemotherapy.\u201d Ibid. After severe radiation therapy to Doyle\u2019s skull in 2014 and an apparent improvement of his cancer, however, his medical condition began to deteriorate in March 2017. It is around that time, for instance on March 7, 2017, that Doyle began to complain about \u201c\u2018knots\u2019 on my chest,\u201d with the doctors reporting that \u201cthese feel like lymph nodes.\u201d <em>See <\/em>Donaldson Correctional Facility Medical Records, p. 453; <em>see also <\/em>ibid., p. 472 (\u201cNeed to see the doctor I have lumps in my chest and to have my pain medicine renew\u201d); ibid., p. 470 (\u201clumps in chest\u201d). In March 2017, the doctors began to mention in the medical records the possibility of \u201clymphadenopathy,\u201d <em>see <\/em>ibid., p. 453.
