Please pass on our best wishes to Lloyd, Stephen.
I'm not a follower of the WW1 stuff so I don't know of him personally but the bigC has touched my family as well and I do have some knowledge of what he and his family are going through.
At least nowadays there are treatments that can be effective, and I hope this is so in his case.
Get well soon Lloyd, there are going to be a lot of people here rootin' for you.

Yep, hard news indeed. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 49 (2007). It was detected early enough that it hadn't spread. It runs in the family.....
I had it removed via the DaVinci robotic method of surgery. Not fun but difinately do-able. My thoughts and prayers are with him.
The latest survey shows that
three out of four people make
up 75% of the population.

I've met Lloyd and talked with him at the 2009 and 2011 Dawn Patrol in Dayton. He's a great guy and a boon to the WW 1 group. Tough news indeed, my thoughts will go to him.

Stephen,
Please pass my best wishes, thoughts, and prayers to Lloyd for a quick recovery. As Keith says, a hard battle but surmountable.
God Bless,
