I don't pretend to know what his personal feelings are on the subject of his being photographed at this time in his life, but I will say that I think it could be good to show that he is out and about, living his life. It sends out a signal to everyone who sees the photos that he is a fighter, and not just letting the cancer win. If it gives one person the strength to hold on and fight back, I think it's good. He looks thin in the images, but he looks determined as well.
Either way, I am praying for him and his family. I've never lost anyone to that particular kind of cancer, but I've lost plenty to cancers of other variaties. I hope we find the cure.
