Former United States Senator and University of Florida president Ben Sasse, 53, delivered a stark and deeply personal message to the public via social media, revealing a terminal illness.
'Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die,' Sasse wrote in a post on 23 December. He referred to the cancer as 'nasty stuff' and 'a death sentence,' recognising the significant physical and personal hurdles that lie ahead.
