Granted, the poster threw it out there and it reads at first glance as if it was some kind of rumor, but it's true. Whoever was reading the news, can't remember his name - Doug Limerick?, said "this was just handed to me"....

Jennings is supposed to start treatment next week.

So, as a Canadian, is he going to take advantage of that wonderful "free" healthcare up there?

No longer a Canadian. A few years ago, some government idiot decided he deserved U.S. citizenship.

That suck; I wouldn't wish that on anyone - I hope Mr. Jennings can beat it.

I've expressed my feelings (and probably those of many others here on the forum - but that won't put their's to print) and I'll say no more about his situation.

Did he ever smoke?

You don't have to smoke to get lung cancer...I think Andy Kauffman got lung cancer, didn't he? And I don't think HE smoked. Eddie Rabbitt the country singer, too...though I'm not sure.

Heard it on ABC Radio News

You'd think a news organization would have a website and that they would update their website in an ongoing fashion.

Best wishes to Peter and his loved ones. We'll resume sniping when he's well.

When he was a correspondent years ago, he smked "Players" cigarettes. No filter. Very strong. Actually, kinda like smoking rope.

I do hope he recovers.

Ordinarily the prognosis for lung cancer isn't good. Not very treatable, tends to be aggressive, high mortality rate. Of course, add one miracle and all bets are off...

Prayers for Peter Jennings. He holds different views than mine (and has a much bigger soapbox), but that doesn't matter - cancer is a curse on all of humanity.

The word "cancer" is like a death penalty.
