Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Former Sen. Ben Sasse announced Tuesday he's been diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer, what he described as "a death sentence."
The conservative who represented Florida for eight years in the Senate made the announcement in a post on X.
"This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I'll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die," Sasse wrote.
"Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it's a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too -- we all do.
