[Class of 67]

He will take a sabbatical from ESPN to focus on his recovery. I wish him well.

I think he meant types of cancer.

Yes I did mean that cancer. Lost my brother in law at age 40 in a matter of six months from diagnosis. Very aggressive.

 

[tgar]

What causes it? Or caused it? Any info?

It seems there is an unusual amount of people at ESPN that have had cancer. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems strange. Just doing a little searching Stage IV is the worst with the lowest survival rate of the stages numbered I through IV. A real shame and I feel for him and his family.
