Surprisingly fast decline. He must have been diagnosed in a very advanced stage.
Praying for a deathbed conversion for Peter.
He smoked unfiltered. Particulary nasty.
Regards to his family.
Isn't there a really horrible type of lung cancer that is very aggressive?
Lung cancer is usually undetected until late stages it is that way!
my thoughts exactly. Amen
Do you know his religion.. You are sick
My husband had lung cancer and it spread very quickly into his organs and into his bones. There's really not much they can do for it.It's a very painful death.
Praying for a deathbed conversion for Peter.
Yes, indeed. Prayers go up for Peter and his family.
How do you know that he needs one?
I've seen that before. I had a friend years ago in his early forties; he looked like the picture of health, but when he got the news he instantly went into a very sad tailspin. He was dead in six weeks.
All the best for Mr. Jennings and his family.

Prayers for Peter, I rarely ever agreed with his political opinions but he fought the toughest fight to the end and I can only respect the man. Just a thought, I wonder how much the "aggresive chemo" had to do with his rapid decline?
You are correct, this was fast. My father died 3 weeks after he was diagnosed. And he was under a doctors care for over a year at the time. Thirty-five years ago, and sometimes I feel that we are still at ground zero with cancer. What a wicked disease. May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.
The data available suggests he had small-cell (oat-cell) lung cancer, 12-20% of cases, which is typically terminal 2-4 months after diagnosis. It is the worst type of lung cancer, with only a 6% overall 2-year survival. It is only treatable with chemo, nearly always returns, and does not show symptoms (coughing, etc.) until it is well advanced. It grows into the mediastinal regions and can cause cardiac arrest - which is probably how Mr. Jennings died.
It killed my father-in-law earlier this year.
Heartfelt condolences for Mr. Jennings' family.
