It was caught (the cancer) so soon, but sad it didn't seem to help much.

poor kids! or is it just the 13 yr old boy?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
He had other kids, but they were like 22 and 26 I think, her only kid is the 13 year old boy.

Poor William! Sincere condolences and best of luck. At least he has sympathetic living relatives.

Yet another cancer that doesn't get the attention it needs. I think we have a blind spot toward lung cancer victims, assuming they "got what they asked for" since they smoked. Here's an example of a non-smoker who died of the disease and incidentally, 20% of lunch cancers in women are in non-smokers.
Lung cancer kills more women each year than breast, ovarian and colon cancer combined.
Yesterday was tough, we saw the news and the woman next to me in chemo was a non-smoking lung cancer victim.

I was also sad to hear of the death of Dana Reeve. She sure left a good legacy for her son. Still, it is so sad that her son has these 2 losses at such a young age.
