“Former GOP Sen. Ben Sasse revealed Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and does not have long to live. In a lengthy statement on X, the 53-year-old said bluntly: ‘Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.’ ‘Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all,’ the former senator from Nebraska added. ‘Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad.'” (12/23/25)
