Several people close to Fetterman, including his own wife, believe that he isn't taking care of himself and only getting worse.

Current and former staffers to Democratic Senator Jon Fetterman's raised concerns about his health in an article published by New York Magazine's Intelligencer on Friday, with his former chief-of-staff Adam Jentleson telling a Walter Reed medical director in 2024 that he worried the senator "is on a bad trajectory."...
...The main concern, though, raised by Jentleson and repeated in concerns from other staffers was whether or not Fetterman was following his recovery plan, with the former staff members saying that the senator appeared to start off committed to the plan after the stroke, but ultimately was not following up properly.
Fetterman reportedly failed to attend regular blood draws, which was a "crucial component" of his recovery plan. According to the article, the senator's wife, Gisele Fetterman, at one point refused to meet with him until he went to get bloodwork done, which he did—some months after his previous appointment.
Jentleson told the Intelligencer that Fetterman "could get back in treatment at any time, and for a long time I held out hope that he would. But it's just been too long now, and things keep getting worse."
