Ditto that from me too Larry. My Dad has five brothers. One died a few years ago from lung cancer (that's what we were told anyway), one just told us a few months ago that he's known about his leukemia for six years now and is in his last few months. A month or so after his news another of the brothers announced his leukemia. That's three out of six so far. One of the docs said that it's hereditary leukemia (?) and typically only affects the male members of a family.
When I told my doctor about it his reply was "Makes you wonder why you're counting your cholesterol, huh?" Heckuva bedside manner...
