Why would anyone ignore it ?One day i thought I had something and went to the doctor the very next day.
I read an interview one of his friends gave. The guy said Dustin had a huge growth on his neck and didn't want the press to see it and plaster his face everywhere.

I kind of see it the opposite way. Maybe he valued his life such that he wanted to actually live it. The man had advanced lung cancer. It was going to kill him. Were I to find myself in that situation there's a pretty good chance I refuse treatment. I hope I never have to make that decision, but in my case six months of feeling generally alright is going to beat 12-18 months of feeling like shit. Given that outcome, I think I'd just as soon not know I was dying until the end. Hell, Jimmy Baine died of cancer he never knew he had. Sounds like the best way to do it if you've got to do it somehow.
Some people are afraid to get checked, they’d rather not know because the idea of having something life-threatening scares them too much. Maybe he was like that. I’m like that and yes I know it’s foolish.
Zook is right.

That's a shame if that is indeed true and the reason he held off getting looked at.

Advanced stage lung cancer. She fought hard for two years. It didn’t end well. Gut wrenching to witness.
