The Atlanta Democrat, 79, said his cancer diagnosis was confirmed during a routine medical visit this month. He said he's "clear-eyed" about the prognosis, but hopeful that new treatment options give him a "fighting chance."
"I've been in some kind of fight – for freedom, equality, basic human rights – for nearly my entire life," he said. "I have never faced a fight quite like this one."
Fuck cancer so much. :(
