    I know the feeling. My grandfather died a few weeks ago of lung cancer. Good luck to the man.

    Sorry to hear that, cancer is terrible, my grandfather had it twice (colon cancer first, they hacked out a chunk of his colon, ten years later a tumor in his shoulder finished the job) and several other people I know had it at one point or another. All our best wishes to your uncle, whatever happens may it be as easy as possible (if that makes sense).

    Indeed cancer is a terrible thing. I had a teacher (may she rest in peace) who had cancer and my grandmother recently had a cat-skan and she could have cancer even though its not that likely. My thoughts and prayers are with your great uncle ww2 buff.

    Jet :(

    I will pray for him. It is such a terrible thing, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

    Sad indeed. I'll pray too.

    As someone who has suffered from cancer already a few months ago, I can tell you that it is not nice and that it doesn't only affect the ill person, but its relatives and close ones... :(
