Warren, this is chapter two. About six weeks or more ago, at the start of the NBA season, there were several articles mentioning that Lucas had been "out" for a while being "treated" for bladder cancer and was now OK and back with the team. Then this. Reading "between the lines" I think that he was gone all summer for an RC....and now has mets.

I have talked to the health editor of The Oregonian asking that they do an article on bladder cancer and that Lucas would be the "headliner" but so far, nothing.

While of note that bladder cancer was mentioned in the article, so little was said about his treament and course, leaving it a total mystery to any curious readers of the article.
