There are a lot of us Grandfathers around here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22059913 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:14:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22059840 PeteC2 : I am sorry to hear about your wife's grandfather...

Do take heart though, my father amongst a number of other ills, had part of one lung removed from lung cancer, and that was 6 - 7 years ago now...and he is doing alright, not great, but not so bad either!

ptrowski, I know what you mean: I began folding somewhat as a tribute to my wife's late aunt, who passed away from cancer...5 years later, who knew? Now my wife is battling cancer (and doing just fine!)

Sometimes folding just seems like "something decent to do", but then sometimes it is so much more.

My mom has non small cell lung cancer. As you can see, I am all too familiar with lung cancer.

He starts a regime next Tuesday of 5 days of chemotherapy and 1 day of radiation for 5 weeks. If it arrests it, there is a 70% chance of 5+ years, if not it is under a year.

With the good news you take the bad...but this is why we Fold now isn't it?
