Ben Sasse revealed he is battling stage 4, inoperable pancreatic cancer, diagnosed in December after doctors found his body “full of tumors.” Initially given just 3–4 months to live, he says he’s doing better than expected thanks to an experimental drug—though it causes severe side effects, including bleeding and skin damage.
Despite some tumors shrinking, he knows a full recovery isn’t possible and compares treatment to “Whac-A-Mole,” as new cancer keeps appearing. Now focused on managing pain and extending time, Sasse is making the most of his remaining days, especially with his wife and three children.
