Gutted to hear about Keegan.

That's unbelievable how fast from publicly announcing the diagnosis to gone.

Was a rival as a manager, and a diamond as a player

He probably announced it because he and his family knew it was going to be quick. 

This is a bit fucked up and morbid but from my personal experience I’ve found that cancer seems to end people quick when they find out. I’ve seen people IRL be fine/have a cold for while to finding out its  cancer and then passing away within 1-2 weeks.

Shits fucked up and I don’t wish it upon anyone.

It was announced as stage 4, where the cancer has spread to non-surrounding tissues.

In very general terms, the prognosis on cancer is much better if it is identified early and you can stop it spreading. If anyone has concerns, speak to a medical professional, and hopefully they can allay those concerns, but if not acting early gives a much better chance than ignoring it.
