FDR's health problems.

[Mr. Evangelical]

We all know that FDR became ill and died shortly before the end of WW2. He had many health problems, including polio. I was wondering how could we make FDR live at least 9 months longer than OTL.

 

[Joseph Solis in Australia]

FDR could alive not only 9 months longer but 10 years than OTL if he didn't suffer cerebral hemorrhage and FDR could finish his term by 1949 without any hindrance.

Not really, everything was catching up to him at that point, he was sickly, is said to have cancer, and knew he wasn't going to last. the CH was caused by him collapseing, due to his weak state. That is to say that if he doesent have the cerebral hemorrhage he'll go on for a bit longer, but the odds are highly against him lasting to the end of the term. At most he can probably see the end of the war, and finally bother Breifing Truman.

Possibly not what you want but have the war end earlier and Roosevelt win in 44 celebrating victory in the war. Without the stress of managing the war he might last a lot longer.

A man can live with cancer, yes he did have a form of cancer it was malgint at his death, Polio vaccine earlier perhaps?
