Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 As his bile duct cancer got worse, eating away at his liver, he tirelessly promoted organ donations. He recorded TV spots asking people to donate, even after his health had so deteriorated that he was no longer eligible for a transplant himself. Through it all, he was humble. By 1998 Payton was losing weight, looking gaunt. Doctors diagnosed him with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare liver disorder. He made his illness public in February 1999, and he died nine months later. http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?artsec=21 & issue=20081203 Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight - Whatever it Takes!
