I 100% agree with this.


I see hundreds of cancer patients every year, and am spiritually agnostic. But don't underestimate the impact that a positive outlook and support structure can have on the progression and outcomes of ones disease.

He had lung mets, so obviously he has had his primary for a while. But I wouldn't dismiss that the "situation" played a role in his willingness to live, and his body responded.

largely agree

losing his job and the public discussions about his role in the Sandusky case had to be very hard on him emotionally and when someone becomes severely depressed that does have a major effect on their outlook and their physiology

So yes, he might have been more successful in fighting his lung cancer if the last year had gone differently
