The title implies that we're reading someone writing on their struggle with death, not the last published words of a dying man, insisting that he will fight a disease and try to beat the odds, punctuated by the editors note that he died days writing after the article.
I'm sorry but I think that is deserving of a more explicit content warning, and I don't see what that would cost you or others.

But I think it's overkill to ask people to not submit this kind of content.
