Richard Stallman has cancer
From his website stallman.org:
Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.
Recent video of him speaking at GNU 40 Hacker Meeting. Screenshots of video stream.

as cancers go, this one seems better than the usual ones.
The usual ones aren't so bad, people don't hear much about them because they're so usual and mild.
Mild cancer just doesn't sound right.
Certain skin cancers are very treatable.
It's incurable but usually has a good long term prognosis (97% 5 year survival rate and most people live 20+ years from diagnosis). Seems that the best RMS will get is remission but not cancer free.
