Dollar said when he was diagnosed with cancer that he felt it was important to laugh and keep in good spirits. Upon learning he had cancer he told no one but his wife and took to unusual steps to becoming healthy. Dollar locked himself in a room, fasted and prayed for two weeks and did not talk to anyone. When he went back to the doctor there was no sign of cancer in his body.
