He ran in the Democrat primary in 1992. He was a cancer survivor, and the issue came up in the debates. I recall that he said the cancer was gone, that he swam daily, and was in excellent shape.

He did not win the election (Clinton did), but the cancer came back and Tsongas died two days before the end of Clinton's first term.

Oh, I did not remember that. Thanks. You see, there is no way to tell when cancer is going to make a comeback, but it nearly always eventually does. And, Cain is not a young man. He will be good, as someone said, to hold the debate to the conservative side of issues. It’s a shame that he is not a young healthy man, but then he would not have the wisdom and common sense that he has. I wish him well.
