Hope he recovers... cancer is a nasty nasty thing

**** Cancer!

I hope the next few months are good for him and his family.

My father passed just over two years ago from esophageal cancer, stage IV at diagnosis. This means that there is a very large mass, and surgery is probably unlikely at this point.

This is very sad, for his path is clear with low odds of beating this.

Damn, Mort is the only one of the phone phags I can stomach. Best of luck to him.

They have a cure... its incredibly expensive and still not used except in very rare conditions.... when I read about it a couple years ago they believed it would be used for everything, but the feds have limited it, of course... Jimmy Carter used it...
