He needs your prayers...

Peter Jennings has lung cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. His prognosis is not that good. I remember when I was diagnosed with Hodgkins, when I had radiation and chemotherapy. It is one of the most lonely experiences one can have, and the uncertainty of it all is the worst part, the 'not knowing.' Here's some of Jennings' comments to some of his 'fans.'


"Yesterday I decided to go to the office," Jennings wrote. "I live only a few blocks away. I got as far as the bedroom door. Chemo strikes.

"Do I detect a knowing but sympathetic smile on many of your faces? You knew this was coming."

He said Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, who has undergone chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease, wrote a note saying the only way to get through therapy is to work your way through it.

"He's a tougher man than I am," he said.


Mr. Jennings could use our support and prayers.
