So did my Aunt. She had cancer a bunch of times before it eventually took her out. The toll that your body takes after chemo and/or radiation therapy makes the cancer that will materialize later in your life a lot more threatening, in addition to how your body decays over time. So basically, the older you get and the more chemo you've had, the higher likelihood you have of cancer taking you out. If Lovelock has had "10 cancers in the last few years", he's going to die of cancer in the next 10.

- slowhand09 7y agoI have doubts. You typically don't see an oncologist for skin cancers unless it has metastasized. Mortality is high at that point. I don't count the number of simple skin cancers anymore.
