Fox News star Charles Krauthammer reveals he has weeks to live in heartbreaking letter

Charles Krauthammer reveals he has weeks to live

Syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer says his cancer has returned; reaction from Chris Wallace, anchor of 'Fox News Sunday,' and Juan Williams, Fox News political analyst.
Charles Krauthammer, the beloved and brilliant Fox News Channel personality who gave up a pioneering career in psychiatry to become a Pulitzer Prize-winning political analyst, on Friday revealed the heartbreaking news that he is in the final stages of a losing battle with cancer..
The 68-year-old's incisive takes on politics of the day have been missing from Fox News Channel's "Special Report" for nearly a year as he battled an abdominal tumor and subsequent complications, but colleagues and viewers alike had held out hope that he would return to the evening show he helped establish as must-viewing. But in an eloquent, yet unblinking letter to co-workers, friends and Fox News Channel viewers, Krauthammer disclosed that he has just weeks to live.
"I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months," the letter began. "I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I'm afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me."
"This is the final verdict. My fight is over."
- Charles Krauthammer
Krauthammer, who graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1975 despite a first-year diving accident that left him a quadriplegic, explained that he had a malignant tumor removed from his abdomen last August. Although a series of setbacks left him in  the hospital in the ensuing months, he believed until recently that he was on the road to recovery.
"However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned," Krauthammer wrote. "There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over."
Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman of Fox News and its parent company, 21st Century Fox, said Krauthammer has been a giant of journalism and a key part of the channel's success.
"Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News," Murdoch said. "His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer.
"His words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come," Murdoch added. 
Fox News viewers will undoubtedly miss Krauthammer's formidable intellect and ability to analyze politics and politicians with a cerebral wit and keen charm. As the dean of "The Fox News All Stars," the panel of pundits who break down headlines and events nightly on Fox News Channel's top-rated "Special Report," Krauthammer could be counted on to make viewers think, question and even chuckle.
Krauthammer was on his way to greatness in the medical field when he veered first into policy, and then into journalism. After medical school, he became chief psychiatry resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he studied depression and published ground-breaking findings in top medical journals. But in 1978, he took a job in the Carter administration directing planning in psychiatric research and later served as a speech writer for Vice President Walter Mondale.
It was in the nation's capital that Krauthammer trained his mind and talents on political analysis and began penning columns for The New Republic, Time magazine and finally the Washington Post. In 1985, he won journalism's top prize for his weekly political commentary. In his sobering farewell, Krauthammer said he is "grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny."
"I leave this life with no regrets," Krauthammer wrote. "It was a wonderful life – full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMERS LETTER
June 8, 2018 I  have  been  uncharacteristically  silent  these past  ten months. I  had thought  that  silence  would soon be coming to an end, but I'm afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided
on a different course for me. In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. That operation was thought to have been a success, but it caused a cascade of secondary complications  which  I  have  been  fighting  in hospital ever  since. It was a long and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily, if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually making my way back to health. However, recent  tests  have  revealed  that  the  cancer  has  returned. There  was   no  sign  of       I t   as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate   is   that  I  have  only a    few    weeks   left to live. This   is   the   final verdict. My fight  is  over. I  wish  to  thank     my    doctors   and   caregivers, whose   efforts     have     been   magnificent.    My dear friends, who   have   given me   a   lifetime of memories   and whose support   has   sustained me through these difficult months. And all of my partners at The Washington Post, Fox News, and Crown Publishing. Lastly, I thank my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers, who have made my career
possible and given consequence to my life's work. I believe that the pursuit of truth and
right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this
extraordinary nation's destiny.
 I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life
–
 full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.
