I’m sure he got checked every 6 months after he was diagnosed.

It’s a great comfort to read along.

It really is. I think he'd really enjoy all of us hanging out and telling our stories. :-)

Never mind. Greta just confirmed he did get checked every 6 months prior to his diagnosis. I’ve never heard of that.

A friend of mine has breast cancer in remission and she gets scanned every 60 days.

That just means that the minds of those posting are very ugly.

I haven’t been so affected by a death since Reagan. Tony was such an incredible man.

She looked as if she were biting her tongue through the whole interview.

Interesting. My sister had breast cancer in 1997 or 1998 and she gets a mammogram once a year like all females.

I wondered if her eyes were tearing up.

I always think of Tony when I watch “Anchorman” with Will Ferrel. He played this little bit form the movie in his intro:

Veronica: “You play jazz flute?”
Ron: “I dabble.”

And later on...

“HEY AQUALUNG!”

I’m pretty sure that Brit said he was very thorough in getting checked...because of his Mother’s illness. And still he got this horrible disease.

God Bless his family.

In Tony’s case apparently even with the checkups the disease got him. God must have had Tony on a fixed schedule and his work here must have been done.

Still do the colonoscopy at age 40 and above. They can —if caught before it mets to other organs— usually cure it. Once it spreads to a second organ its very difficult if not impossible to cure. Usually just extending your life for some time. Tony got mets in his liver in 2007 after initially only having it in his colon in 2005.

My friend had a really tough time. She had to go through two full cycles of treatment.

Does anyone know if Fox will televise the memorial, if there is one, or the funeral if it is public?
