I heard about his the other day. Hope he gives up the smokes as it will help his recovery. I hope Tony can receive it cause I’m praying for him too. I told a group of Death Metal fans on fecebook that they should pray for him!

The first rock concert I ever went to was Black Sabbath, back in the summer of 1976 I believe.

The first six Sabbath albums are really hard to beat, I think it was ended up being six albums in six years. Which was fairly normal back then. Good luck Tony! I hope the new Sabbath sounds like the old early/mid 70’s Sabbath!

He is indeed blessed that they caught it at the first stage.

Look at John Lester: they caught the lymphoma early and he is still starring as a pitcher for the Red Sox.

In my own case, I’ve been to the 4th stage of Non-Hodgkin’s 3 times and my doctors knocked it back every time.

There is hope for lymphoma cases.

What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return
Take your written rules, you join the other fools
Turn to something new, now it's killing you

Black Sabbath Rocks!
Good luck with that Tony
