get, is that many people who are in the "spotlight" don't announce personal details. First of all, it's not the public's business unless it will affect a public figure's ability to do his/her job. But in cases like cancer, the sufferer doesn't exactly know when that "can't do" moment will occur. So, the public finds out when that moment has arrived.

Slinging mud at President Biden at this time, in particular, is just plain trashy.
