I have never cared much for Tom Lantos.
Neverless, I wish him as much luck as possible.
Cancer of the Esophagus is one of the nastiest forms that you can get. Anatomy limits treatment options and survival is generally measured in months. In my opnion, only pancreatic cancer is worse.
I had a friend die from lung cancer last week, it was even worse.
I pray that I will just go to sleep and wake up in Heaven, but a weak heart is not a problem for me.
