Wait, I thought he fell, or had an ulcer. Now it is “curable” stomach cancer.

Hmmm ...

Reagan made sure his DRs were GOP. Wonder if the thought ever crosses his mind to ask the political leaning of his DRs!?!?!?

My Father-in-Law had inoperable cancer (he died about a year and a half ago.)

One of the first signs that something was wrong was when he started falling down for no apparent reason. After about 2 or 3 times, we took him to the Doctor and that's when the problem was found.

This is actually not unusual - nothing odd about refining the diagnosis as more tests are done. Likely sequence of events: he fell because he was lightheaded due to low blood count. Docs look for cause of low blood count, find blood loss due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Preliminary tests show lesion in upper GI tract, which is most likely to be an ulcer. Docs proceed to endoscopy and biopsy, where the sample shows cancer.

He was probably diagnosed under the Obama Care plan . . .
