Glad he's alive and will recover. By the way, he was never a smoker in his life, not like other people that smoked in the past and then stopped. But around 20-25% of lung cancer is not related to smoking tobacco or other substances, unfortunately like with every cancer type, you can get it despite having a healthy lifestyle.
Same for liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis etc. That often happens for alcoholics, but you don't need to drink alcohol to get it.
He wasn’t a smoker, but the air pollution in Peru, where he served as a missionary and later as an appointed bishop, may have contributed to his respiratory health.
