Peter Jennings has been diagnosed with cancer

He was a long time smoker, but quit years ago. Unfortunately it wasn't soon enough to prevent lung cancer. He is planning on performing his job throughout his chemotherapy. While it is never good news when someone has been diagnosed with cancer, hopefully this will bring more awareness to the realities of cancer and the risks involved in smoking cigarettes.

I've told many friends and family members who smoke that they should visit a chemotherapy floor at local hospital and speak with someone who has lung cancer. I would hope that such an experience would cause a paradigm shift.
