To repeat an oft told tale. Four weeks ago, my friend's husband went to Dr. for a _slight_ cough. The long and short of it--Cancer in lung & lesion in the brain. The one good thing-he's had his radiation & chemo & has finished the course already. Now they wait.

Their strapping 6' 2" son will be finishing his long course of treatment for cancer of the tonsils. (The second case of this I've heard in the last month.)He never smoked. One wonders about second hand smoke-he grew up in a house of smokers.
