My dad had been having some weak spells and the doctors said it was nothing. In October of 2002, he had gall bladder surgery and the doctor told us it was cancer. I researched that type cancer and it was curable if detected early-we thought it was over. The next day the doctor said it was very unusual because it wasn't in his lungs- it was small oat-cell lung cancer. I knew the survival rate for it was not good. My dad put up a mighty fight but passed away in April 2004. He never complained even though he was in agony. He was in good physical shape when he was diagnosed and that helped him to fight for as long as he did. He was a wonderful Christian, husband and dad.
