If he announced he had cancer, he would be unlikely to leave the company the same day (if at all). It's also not a guarantee that he would die (sorry to be morbid). There is a LOT of additional information that can be provided. He might beat it again.
The problem is that if he is not announcing when he has cancer, we're only going to hear about it if two things happen:
1. He knows he has beaten it.
2. He knows he cannot beat it.
He can also put a plan in place where he is grooming a successor that the public slowly becomes familiar with, and they can decide how comfortable they are with the replacement, letting the stock reflect that confidence accordingly.
By the way, what's with the "Answer that first. I doubt you can." comment? How about just asking a question letting me take a crack at answering it?
