Cavuto: He chose today to discuss this because, should he run for president, it would be out there. He has a favorable prognosis. It's sometimes referred to as "the common cold type of lymphoma".

Thompson: I have a normal life expectancy and feel fine.

It was a short clip from Neil's interview.

Thank god its not the dangerous one. Prayers for him though and his family. I hope it stays that way!

“Thompson: I have a normal life expectancy and feel fine.”

But he doesn’t have a normal energy level. Later in the interview he said he had a young family and therefore did not think he had to leave them to be on the road campaigning as much as people expected. He was pretty unequivocal about this—he does not intend to go out on the road that much. This does not sound like somebody ready for the grueling slog of running for president in ‘08.
