Former Nebraska Republican Senator Ben Sasse has been diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer, a disease that he calls a "death sentence". Sasse, who is now in the fourth month since his diagnosis, has been told he has three to four months to live. He expressed his belief in the Resurrection and a restoration of this world, and did not feel great fear about his death. However, he expressed regret over having prioritized poorly throughout his life. Sasse had a bloody face during his interview due to a new cancer treatment, which causes bleeding, peeling, and rashes, and caused him to bleed out of parts of me that shouldn't be bleeding.
