5. Lost my FATHER to colon cancer ...

so whenever anybody nicer than Hitler gets the big C ... I feel sick for them. Saw my father, 6' 0", 200+ lbs, waste away to nothing before he finally was released from his pain.

In the end, there was nothing in his brain ...

Father-in-law had his faculties to the bitter end, even with the morphine drip.
