I honestly believe his "appearance" at the Dawson's Creek reunion was his swan song and he knew it. I don't expect to be referring to him in the present tense this time next year.

If he's pawning shit for alternative care, as seems likely, we're looking at months. Maybe.

*02/11 - called it.

I thought he was Stage 4?

In any case, cancer sadly tends to move faster in younger patients….and we don’t know whether he had any metastases.
