Unfortunately, it was too late.... I lost my dad....
I worry so much about this with my dad. He's over sixty and has been smoking since he was about 13. He gets a physical and is told all the time that he's healthy, his lungs look great etc. But, I worry about things like pancreatic cancer. Is that something that can be predicted at all? Or is just fine one day and gone the next? What an awful thing...

My grandmother died of lung cancer in her mid fifties. And, my brother was diagnosed and treated for leukemia when he was between the ages of 5 and 10. He's over 30 now and healthy. The idiot picked up smoking, though, in his early 20s. How does a cancer survivor pick up smoking?! Man, you want to talk about someone getting a lot of crap from people. And, I refuse to even date someone who smokes. Just not happening.
