Damn! Will be on Fox today with Neil Cavuto.

If that’s the case, Fox really screwed up this announcement. They made it sound like it WAS in remission but is back. Sheesh...

WHAT???? Holy moly. What a bummer. I don’t know what to think about this.

My mother had Lymphoma. Had lumps the size of golf balls on her lungs. From the time of her first MRI until they finally diagnosed it after her second biopsy, a period of about 80 days, it was in spontaneous remission. 2 months later it was completely gone without treatment.

Prayers for Fred and family.

I said I would stop. Dont think I’m enjoying this.

Could you please scream louder? Thank you.

FOX is prone to crazy “Breaking News” stuff.

You might be right.

This stuff takes a while to iron out.

Bump to your post! A must read...

Prayers for Fred. The prognosis sounds good.

[Larry Lucido]

Prayers for a good man.

I think we are past the time when a diagnose of a manageable disease would automatically put the kibosh on a political career, or any career. People fight all kinds of diseases and they should be given the opportunity to live full lives as they do, if they are able. I said this about Elizabeth Edwards and it’s as true for Fred Thompson.

I doubt that Fred Thompson will be running for the nomination.

Why do you doubt that? Thompson knew he had Lymphoma when he first said he might be interested. If this is just getting the news out, it probably indicates that he is more likely than not to throw his hat in the ring.

I hope so!

Yes Hillary could post her gynecological records and colonoscopy video on her webs... er, never mind!

[johnny7]

Perhaps all the candidates should make their full medical records public now.

I agree... retroactive as well. ;)

[devane617]

Well heck! G-d bless you Fred and family.

[Fawn]

OH NO!

[007girl]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I’ll be praying for Mr. Thompson and his family.

[dirtboy]

Arlen Specter had a much worse form and he seems to have fought it off.

[rface]

It’s in remission. Seems he’s getting this announcement out of the way as part of his decision on whether he will run for President.

I hope this is the case

Hodgkins is far more serious and lethal.
