Former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse announced Tuesday that he’s been diagnosed with “metastasized, stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.”

“Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do,” Sasse wrote on X.

“I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, ‘Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.’ Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all.”

Sasse represented Nebraska in the US Senate from 2015 to 2023 before resigning to serve as the 13th president of the University of Florida. He resigned as university president last year to focus on taking care of his family after his wife was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Yes, sadly, it is a bad diagnosis. Anatomy. Stage IV is distant metastases. The issue is, once pancreatic cancer grows through the margins of the gland, it is already in the liver. Too sad. But, we wish former Senator Mr. Sasse the best of luck, much patience and shall follow his health.
