And he said that he didn't reveal his cancer because he didn't want the press to speculate on when he's going to die (when, not if!). My guess is, he has brain cancer but not glioblastoma, maybe only a grade 3. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is, he has brain cancer but not glioblastoma, maybe only a grade 3. --Likely cancer of the brain --Didn't think he'd even make it to this Christmas --I've seen other articles quoting him as saying he was basically devastated and floored by the diagnosis, which sounds to me like a terminal diagnosis as opposed to a good prognosis. Yeah, he's worth a pick FOR SURE in '24. Here's another person I had never heard of, but he will be going on my list and staying there unless I hear a remission announcement or something.

Spade_Cooley 9,474 Posted February 29 It was the adverts that pushed me away from him, I thought Knorr would have wanted some confirmation that he wasn't about to die before they put him in an advert where the punchline is he lives inside a tight wooden box. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
