I'm afraid he's a goner, like poor Elizabeth Edwards. Sad really. When he was first being treated and gone so much, I had the feeling it was more serious than he let on.

These two recent relapses in well-known cancer victims should give every Republican pause. Our two frontrunners both have a history of serious cancers. Giuliani with prostate cancer, McStain with melanoma. And both promise to release their records but have not done so. They just continue to suck up campaign money.

The same thing could happen with Giuliani or McStain at any time. And I recall Paul Tsongas in '92, telling us how healthy he was and running around in a Speedo swimming vigorously. I don't think he lasted even three years.

Thank you for your pessimistic assessment. < /sar>

Actually, after reading the stories of others on here and hearing from Dr. Manny on Fox, it is not as bleak as first presented. It is, however, like the war on terror. It always must be fought with strength and optimism and belief in your cause, in this case family, friends and life itself.

Can you put the politics aside for today? Thanks, I'd much appreciate it.

We are trying to be upbeat and positive, negativity is very destructive. A lot of freepers that have had Colon Cancer are always looking over their shoulder, and need to hear pragmatic good news for Tony and other Cancer victims. Just throwing out negative, depressing comments is not helpful.

Yeah, Tsongas actually passed away around Clinton's second nomination.

If he had won in '92 he wouldn't have lasted a full term.
