One rumor floating around when Sir Sean retired from acting was that his health was dodgy. Is this true? If so, have their been any updates?

From the Wiki:
In 1993, news that Connery was undergoing radiation treatment for an undisclosed throat ailment sparked media reports that the actor was suffering from throat cancer following years of heavy smoking, and he was falsely declared dead by the Japanese and South African news agencies. Connery immediately appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to deny all of this.
In a February 1995 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that the radiation treatment was to remove nodules from his vocal cords. (His father, a heavy smoker, died from throat cancer in 1972.)
In 2003, he had surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes.
On 12 March 2006, he announced he was recovering from surgery in January to remove a kidney tumour.
In 2008, he chipped a bone in his shoulder after falling while playing golf.
In October 2009, he told Wine Spectator magazine that he has been diagnosed with a heart condition.
The man is 80 years old. Nobody lives forever.
