I’m a Super Dave Osbourne fan myself.

Ditto and ditto. My father was first diagnosed in 1965 with colon cancer, given less than 5 yrs. They didn't tell him, only my mother. She waited, with four little ones, for him to drop dead. In 1968 he had another bout and his doctor was shocked to see him alive. It made it's final return in 1983, he wound up with a colostomy bag for his remaining 2 years. He had chemo and radiation, neither of which he had in 1965 and '68. He, and we, were blessed with those extra 20 years.

My younger brother was diagnosed in January 2014, stage 4 colon cancer. Had a tumor the size of a stick of butter (per his doctor's description) removed. After chemo didn't stop it from spreading to his liver, he was sent to a 'specialist' in NYC, Lenox Hill Hospital, who had some magical surgery, can't recall the name of it, to help him. He opened him up, couldn't do anything and closed him back up. I knew before my brother woke up that nothing could be done and I could only dread for the moment he would hear it. (I was in PA, he lived in NJ). He was absolutely livid upon the news and just wanted out of that hospital fast. He had to recover from another surgery needlessly. I last saw him on Palm Sunday 2015, just a shadow of himself. He just kept saying if he could only gain 10 lbs. He started bleeding out toward the end of April through May and he was gone May 17th, 2015 at 56, a month before his birthday, with all of us at his hospital bedside. It was a horrible event but yet beautiful with all of us with him, he was a wonderful soul. My mother died the previous year in June and we could not tell her that he was ill with the same thing that took my father, she was just too frail to know and it was Michael's (my brother) wishes she not be told also.. Then my mother-in-law of over 40 years died 2 months after my brother.

Think I’ll see both of them in Heaven.

His dad for sure, who by the grace of God (no understatement) "Evel" made his greatest "jump" when he sincerely gave His sins and life to Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us. His honest testimony of it (video) in Robert Schuller Crystal Cathedral )of all places) is very likely the most gospel that congregation ever heard. And which I wish everyone would. Evel reiterated the story of his conversion in other places as well before his passing from this world and into glory. Thanks be to God.
