Just saw news item on CBS TV, channel 2 in NYC, that cited a study stating people who come down with Alzheimer's are less likely to get cancer; those who get cancer, are less like to get Alzheimers. I hope thats true cos due to family history, I always feared Alzheimers more so than cancer.....Hoping all feel a little better today....steve

    BAD NEWS AND WORSE NEWS

    This friend of mine had felt unwell for months, so he decided to see his doctor. The doctor examined him and referred him to the hospital to see various specialists. After a couple of weeks, all the test results came through, so my friend returned to see his doctor.

    "I'm very sorry", said the doctor. "I'm afraid I have bad news and worse news."

    "Tell me the worst."

    "I'll be honest, you have cancer, you'll be dead in three months."

    "Oh %#@&! " said my friend. "What on earth is the bad news?"

    "You also have Alzheimer's Disease."

    "Alzheimer's? Oh well, at least I don't have cancer!"

    ---------

    I hope this isn't in too bad a taste!! :):):)

    Not to me it isn't, Rob
    I was gonna conclude with a comment but felt that would be in poor taste.For myself, always had a warped sense of humor.
    My father's mother had Alzheimers bad-I was still relatively young and did not want to visit her in hospital since she couldn't recognize her elder son, my father,nor her husband or anyone else and I told my mother I'd rather remember grandma as I knew her.(Just occurred to me, after all these years, maybe she would have recongnized me?) Its known to skip a generation but i think it was hitting my father who had died at 76. I know I'd never know it tho you should sense some change in mind....At 59 with chemobrain I know something's changed,I know my mind isn't what it was back in May.who knows but I really did fear Alzheimers more than cancer but hadn't thought about that in quite some time till I saw brief newsitem on TV....This is one tough battle against an enemy that never seems to tire ...steve
