"Game of Thrones" actor Wilko Johnson has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. BBC reports that following news of the actor's poor health in the U.K.'s Echo, Johnson's manager confirmed that he is, in fact, battling a terminal illness. "I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy," the statement explains. "He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity." The 65-year-old actor played Ilyn Payne in the first two seasons of the HBO fantasy series and is also a guitarist and songwriter for the English blues group Dr. Feelgood.

Pancreatic Cancer is the kiss of death. Survivability rate is 25% for 1 year and 6% to make it to 5 years. Realistically, between 6 and 10 months is the expectation. I hope he gets his bucket list done.
