Yep. So far, I've known about 4 people personally that have been through it and my grandfather wasn't able to fight it, so it's very scary. He was diagnosed in October/November and died in February the following year. To see a strong man that had always been distant yet very loving fall to a man I didn't know and didn't recognize me and could barely speak hurts my heart to this day.

Love ya Pop. I hope they find a cure soon.

My Dad died from Lung Cancer-
He was one of the courageous five + year survivors that you hear about, but the bastard caught up to him in the 6th year, and took him away.

Lung cancer is such an incedious disease- - and this family has been under such a dark cloud, it is very sad news.
Not much that the ones watching/waiting can do but:

Donate time or money to The American Cancer Society
Give Blood
Support all walks/bike rides/ whatever event is raising money to help fight Cancers.

My Dad died 11 years ago and they have come a long way with treatment and success rates-all because of the money we have donated... but Lung cancer is one of the worst.
My thoughts are with this strong woman and her family
