Chuck Strahl Has Lung Cancer

By week¹s end the pathologists had determined that the lining of my lung (the pleura) had developed cancer, likely because of an exposure to asbestos when I was a young man. My logging days included a time when we used open, asbestos brakes on the yarders, and while my exposure wasn¹t that lengthy, it was intense. Typically, 20-25 years later, the asbestos works its ugly magic. Unfortunately, I¹m right on time.

Good luck with this Chuck.

That's very sad news.

Strahl is an honourable man who has served his constituents well.

Best wishes Chuck.

Cadman passed on from cancer didn't he? And aren't there a few other MPs with cancer as well?
