So where's the problem other than the fact we're all going to die one day unless the Lord comes back in our lifetimes?

This is no problem of course. The anti-fred's are trying their best to cast doubt about Fred's health in a vain attempt to hurt Fred's campaign for prez. It won't work. I doubt if there is anyone out there that likes Fred for president but will vote for someone else because of the lymphoma.

Its all just gasbaggery!

Any potential flaw in a primary candidate will NOT go unnoticed by the opposition in the general election campaign. I wish all the best to Mr. Thompson with his health issues. For me personally this just means I'll better scrutinize whoever he picks for VP if he's the Repubbie nominee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Bouvier_Kennedy#Final_years

And let’s not forget that President Clinton had heart bypass surgery three years ago. Heart disease is progressive, so it is not a stretch to say that he suffered with this disease while in office. He’s very lucky that Monica didn’t trigger a massive heart attack during their Oval Office “visits”.
As far as surviving Lymphoma, my father is in complete remission from a stage four diagnosis 18 months ago at age 82. He had multiple lymph node involvement and the original diagnosis was a life expectancy of only three years. That has now been revised with an open ended lifespan. Some Doctors now consider the disease curable rather than just treatable in some patients.
The newer chemotherapy drug treatments and combinations of those drug “cocktails” are showing amazing results. I can speak from experience being in complete remission from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) myself.
