My papaw, who will turn 82 next month has been diagnosed with cancer in his lungs. They are going to do tests the next two days to determine what stage it is at and if it has spread anywhere else. He's in great overall health otherwise, the doctor even said she was surprised to see him as an 81 year old patient because when she saw him in the hall she had him pegged for being about 65.

As is probably obvious by the number of different sports forums I visit and respond to here on VN, I am a huge sports fan. My papaw is the man responsible for that. I couldn't begin to count the number of Tennessee Vols football games, Atlanta Braves baseball games or NASCAR races I have watched with this man. I remember several trips to the old Kingsport/Galaxy Speedway to watch races. I remember helping him teach his wiener dog how to play football. It would get the football by the laces and carry it into the end zone. I've had quite a few deaths that were close to me for a 27 year old, but if I lose my papaw it will probably be the toughest yet, because I never pictured this man as anything other than an absolute strength of power. I mean he still mows his own yard every week and goes to the turkey shoots every single weekend the weather allows him to.

Just please pray for him and keep him in your thoughts if you could. Thanks in advance.

Prayers sent Bill. Never underestimate the power of prayer. My father was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and given 3 months to live....16 yrs ago. We were in church together this past Sunday, and like your Papaw, looks younger than his 80 yrs. God can still work miracles, I have walking proof.

Bill, I'm sorry to hear about your papaw. A lady I work with just lost her father a week ago, due to cancer. Her son was so close to her dad quite like yourself, and he's having a tough time. I send you prayers and support.
