My uncle worked for the FDNY and was a first responder when 9/11 happened. He stayed non-stop for days. A few months later he developed astma and soon after he had to go on disability. Docs couldnt find the cause, his health has mysteriously deteriorated since and he has been bed-ridden for a long time. He has been going to doctors for years and no one could pin point any of his health problems. Well, a tumor was found on his pancreas, he went in yesterday and when they opened him up for a biopsy they just closed him back up. His body is riddled with cancer. They cant even treat him because it basically is all over his body. He will die soon I fear. Another unsung hero who the govt has abandonded as they stopped workers comp and any other pay he was getting while in the FDNY years ago claiming "nothing" was in the air during that time.

Please, I am not a religious man but I am a spiritual one. Please say a prayer for him.


Thanks.

I wonder how long he's actually had cancer. I mean it seems like it's been brewing for awhile.

Sorry to hear it though. Cancer sucks.

Everyone thinks it takes a while for to build up and spread around but that is really not the case. Usually if you are catching it because it is impeding on your healthy it is pretty late. Sorry about your Uncle.
Hopefully this country will start to take care of the people who serve it. You know, instead of just saying you support the troops, actually, I don't know, supporting them.

Death never made any sense and I can not make up any term or quote to offer any comfort to you. It's just a natural course of life we all have to face. It will hurt, it will sadden and confuse you. Just like pain after a wound, it's just part of healing process, so don't ignore it. To enjoy life, we must face the risk of injury. It's a steap price, but it's a price we all have to be willing to pay to live.

You have my best of wishes and hope.

There's always a chance..

It doesn't sound good though. I don't even think they try and do much when cancer is "everywhere"...

So sorry, OP.
