I agree too. I think it was shameful the way (presumably) the family did not publicise the melanoma. Given his high profile, it's undoubted that a few lives would have beens saved over the last few years. It's confusing and disappointing that such a great man seemed to let the melanoma cause down by keeping it under wraps. Like I said, at least in Victoria lives would have been saved had he and his family come out and told the public about the cause of his illness. It puts a shameful perspective on a great life as far as I'm concerned. Nothing like the grace of Amy, who used her illness to educate, and save lives in the process before the disease took her too young.
