He had a surgery on the same lung about 6 years ago. They removed what was a spot, but not cancerous. Well he clotted and had a stroke after the surgery. They are afraid something like that can happen again. He has just gained back his ability to speak somewhat clear.Comment

Re: FUCK CANCER!
yikes. Glass half full, alternatives to surgery have come a pretty long way in the last few. Sending out some positive vibes your way, regardless.

Re: FUCK CANCER!
On the health front, I lost a good friend from my 80s KU years way before his time yesterday. He lived in NYC and contracted what appears to be meningitis, which took his life fairly quickly. Folks in the city might read up on how to prevent contracting this killer.
Here's a report on Meningitis in NYC from CBS, dated January 20, 2011.
Cancer sucks. But it can be beat. Best wishes to you, White.Comment
