In the book Dr. Sotos argues that Lincoln suffered from a rare genetic cancer syndrome called MEN2B (multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B). Sotos says that Lincoln did not have Marfan's syndrome, some of his boys and probably his mother had the same syndrome, and that the president had less than a year to live prior to the assassination. Included in Sotos' arguments are the fact that Lincoln had the classic body shape of those suffering from MEN2B. Sotos' feels Lincoln was dying of cancer during the last months of his life. Thyroid cancer is particularly common among people who have MEN2B.

Any opinions - was Lincoln dying of cancer when he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth?
This is a most interesting thread (which I've in detail read but now) and theory. According to all the worrying descriptions of A. Lincoln's outward appearance towards and at the end of his presidency I had the same thought in mind, and I also wondered if Lincoln himself felt something like that when he said to Browning:" I must die sometime". I've experienced at least three times that people made similar statements in a serious manner and suddenly and unexpectedly died of cancer just a few month later.
