Dude, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.  My step-mom's mother is in Houston 
right now and if it hasn't happend yet she'll be lucky if she survives the 
night due to her cancer.  What's worse is the freakin hurricane Rita is 
forcasted to head that way in a few days.

I lost my grandfather 3 years ago to cancer, and like your dad it was weeks 
between diagnosis and the end.  Problem with my granddad was the doctors 
could've picked it up SO much sooner because all the clues were in this 
charts, x-rays, etc -- but I guess hindsight is 20/20.

I honestly think cancer will get us all if nature doesn't first.  I know 
words on the screen don't help much, but if there's anything that can be 
done, please let us know.

Sam
