Cancer is never well timed, but this has to takes the cake. The perils of public life?<p>Thyroid cancer took my father at about the same age; I truly feel for Scott Thompson and his family and hope they found it early and for his speedy recovery.
Wow. I'm sure he's been having one of the worst periods of his life right now. Now that he's out of the Yahoo investor spotlight, I hope he talks about this ordeal from his point of view. I'd love to hear it. The comp sci degree really seems like a small lie that just snowballed into something huge.
Very unfortunate turn of events for Mr. Thompson. I hope for the sake of his health that the media will not hound him too much. No one deserves to get cancer.
