Terminal cancer is bad enough without newspaper articles discussing how you are deteriorating. Why doesn’t the press leave him alone? Why was this posted to FR?

I can understand how you are feeling about this... but I can think of two reasons why this information is relevant to Freepers... those who really enjoyed Patrick as an actor can feel for his odyssey. The second is Patrick himself came out last year... and publicly said he had cancer.

Agree to a point. Once it appears in the MSM, the privacy is lost. Walling off FReepers from sad news upon which prayers are often offered is not something we do here.

In some respects I agree but he is moving forward one day at a time and as far as I can tell not bitching about the cancer but living his life. It is in many respects inspiring. May the Lord bless him.
