Well, I do believe this does have to do with celebrity worship, but he has my sympathy anyway. My mother just died from lung cancer, and I know the road he has ahead of him. I'm surpised at the announcement that he will be receiving chemo, though. It's well established that chemo doesn't work with lung cancer.

I think it is sad he doesn't just take a leave of absence, and spend time with loved ones, but we all make our choices.
