6. Wouldn't wish that on a dog.
Which in his case, would not be far off...

He has stage-IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

8. Wow, he's been up for 5 minutes and I didn't even recognize him
He looks a bit peaked but otherwise not bad...I don't like him, but cancer is something not to be wished on anyone.

10. Here you go
he is battling a disease (Stage IV Hodgkin's) that has left him bald and with a "port" in his chest, through which his doctors pump chemotherapy treatments every other Friday
