Damn dude, nailed it!
I believe he does have throat cancer. The way Val's weight fluctuates is unhealthy. You can't sit there and drop or add several pounds at the flick of a switch.
The way cancer works on a body is weird. You'd figure we'd have a cure by now, but these pharmaceutical companies would be bankrupt.
I hope he beats it if the rumors are true. He has such a distinctive voice, but I wonder if it was in the early stages when filming "Tombstone". I heard that role took a huge toll on him at the time.
He may not make it for the "Top Gun" sequel. -

Few if any cancers hang around for 20 years without killing the person. He would never have had it during Tombstone. As he would be dead by now.
Sincerely hoping he is cured of the disease.
As for the 'pharma companies would be broke' if there was a cureum, no. Who do you think would make the cure?
Anyone who has gone through cancer, or seen it, knows that the disease is incredibly difficult to treat. Even if one beats it, it may return, and if it does, it will be more resistant to treatment. It builds up an immunity, so to speak. And that's why, 2000if it returns, it usually means it's fatal. -

Maybe they removed his thyroid as they did mine when I got cancer. That would cause a weight fluctuation. People need to stop talking about his weight when they have no idea what is happening to him medically. Steroids, which is something that is given along with cancer-fighting drugs, cause a lot of weight gain.

I'm not a devout Christian, nor am I the best Catholic, but as the saying goes, "where two or more are gathered in my name.." - we each should send up a prayer in Val's name to the God of our understanding and perhaps our collective faith in Val's recovery will help him to heal and keep entertaining us. What worries me is that he is not getting conventional medical care, but relying on holistics and herbal means. Here's to a year of improved health for Val in 2016!
