> knowing he was this sick I kind of wish he had stepped down from his seat

He was diagnosed in 2014. Should he have just not done anything the past 8 years?

Not step down, I guess I mean maybe he shouldn’t have run for re-election.

Obviously he was healthy enough to be in congress while going through treatment, but did voters who elected him 3 weeks ago know his cancer had come back?

Again I’m conflicted on this, he was a great rep, I voted for him whenever he was on the ballot.

His cancer didn't come back. He died of complications from treatment.

You definitely know more about the situation that I do.
