Maybe we shouldn't speculate about someone's illness like this.
It's actually weird he didn't just name it. Health issues aren't the best thing to keep secret. I mean I suppose some might be embarrassing, but cancers aren't something to hide or feel guilty about.
The more people know, the more that can do.
Him naming it woulda probably encouraged people to learn about it, and may have helped some identify that they had it to.
Not naming it left it open to speculation, so that's gonna happen, nothing wrong with it at all.
