Although Ben Sasse, former senator from Nebraska, has undergone all the therapies recommended by doctors, he is aware that he suffers from five types of cancer and is therefore resigned to dying very soon.

During his participation In the “Interesting Times” podcast produced by The New York Times, Sasse spoke about the ravages of the disease on his body, keeping in mind that he is in the last month of life predicted by doctors when they discovered the severity of his case. "In mid-December, they gave me a life expectancy of three to four months, and since then it's been 99 days or so, and I'm much better than I was at Christmas. I was informed that I now have five types of cancer: lymphoma, vascular cancer, lung cancer, aggressive liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer, where it originated. So it became pretty clear that we only have a few months left to live," he said. Despite the critical nature of his case, with no hope of a cure and his face covered in dried blood, the former senator's optimism is commendable, as he smiles in the face of adversity, awaiting the arrival of a moment from which, sooner or later, no one will escape. “I have “I continue to feel peace knowing that death is something we should hate. We should call it a wicked thief. And yet, it is quite good to pierce the veil of tears once and then there will be no more tears, no more cancer,” he expressed. As a good father, Ben Sasse's main concern is leaving his family without support, his two daughters, both adults, but especially his only son, the youngest in the family. “I didn't like the idea of ??my 14-year-old son not having a father present at 16. Nor did I like the idea of ??my daughters, 22 and 24, not having their father to walk them down the aisle. I felt a deep sadness about it," he acknowledged. Ben Sasse suffers from nausea and facial bleeding due to taking the drug daraxonrasib. However,She says her pain has been reduced by 80% since receiving her diagnosis.
