Because he’s a cigar smoker, and this sounds like an aggressive cancer, I’m going to guess it’s esophageal.
I’m sure I heard it was lung cancer.....if it’s small cell he has a long hard haul. I don’t know how much the science has progressed but I lost a dear friend to it and from diagnosis to his death was 3-4 months!!!That was twenty some odd years ago!!!
“Cigar smoker...”
Nope. Cigar smokers are not like cigarette smokers. We do NOT inhale, we just revolve the smoke/flavor in mouth to nasal passages... never reaches the throat beyond the epiglottis.
I had esophageal cancer and survived. Now 17 years. It required radical surgery. But was more like stage 3. I don’t think that is what he has because for someone like him would have had earlier detection as a result of more extensive regular physicals. It is preventable and treatable.
I thought he previously said it was stage 4 lung cancer.

how many cigars a day...? plenty of guys in their late sixties go through one or two a day, without obvious deleterious effects...
