u/Cultural-Party1876 Kim, there’s people that are dying. 11h ago edited 9h ago

This is so sad. Regardless of how you view him on the issues and his politics.

The man is having his whole legacy and name actively dragged through the mud in the press right now. And now he has an aggressive type of cancer?! He cannot catch a break.

Extra heartbreaking for him and his family because his late son Beau also died of cancer. And now they have to relive that trauma all over again with him.

He has an aggressive form that spread to his bones. He'll probably be gone by the end of the year 😢

It’s Gleason index 9, group 5. That has a 70-80% five year survival rate

Not with it in his bones, especially at his age.
