Sonuvabitch. That's the only show I watch every week. Record the episodes and binge watch them. Been watching it since I was in 9th grade almost 30 years ago.

He's looked like he's had health problems for the past few years.  Just skin and bones compared to a few years back.

I thought this thread was going to reveal he's been fighting some cancer for the past few years, not revealing a recent diagnosis.

Sadly, I think so.  It's usually just enough time to get your affairs in order when you get a Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Same here.

Pancreatic is really bad, because, by the time you're symptomatic, it's usually Stage 4.

Wow. How much worse of a diagnosis could you be given.

About the only show on tv worth watching. Damn near the worst kind of cancer you can get. Stage 4, probably won't be with us very long.

They caught hers early stage. This is pretty hard to defeat this far along.
