At his age, treatment is going to be difficult, but I do hope his is a curable cancer and he is a survivor.

I’ve gone to the range for the last two days and will have to say happiness is a warm gun.

... happiness is a warm gun.
Considering how John Lennon died, it is an ironic song title with an interesting backstory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_Is_a_Warm_Gun wrote:Lennon derived the title of "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" from that of an article in the May 1968 issue of American Rifleman, the magazine of the National Rifle Association (NRA). The magazine belonged to George Martin, the Beatles' producer, who had brought it with him to the recording studio. Lennon recalled his reaction to the phrase: "I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something."

"Happiness Is a Warm Gun" reportedly was Harrison and McCartney's favorite track on the White Album. All four of the Beatles later identified it as their favorite song on the album.
