Doug was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year, but on one of his regular checks they discovered he has leukaemia. That then became an acute lymphoma (I think I have that right), and was recently given a few weeks to live.
He started getting his business affairs in order - he has a few successful building firms locally - and his life insurance even paid out immediately, as they do on a terminal diagnosis. This week he's been for more tests, and scans, and guess what? No sign of any cancer, he's in spontaneous remission
He's been warned that there's a fairly high chance it will recur in the future, but for now he's ok!
