Guest DaveG Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Just copied this off of http://www.channel3000.com Bobby Bonds Fighting Lung Cancer Bonds Also Recovering From Kidney Procedure POSTED: 2:14 p.m. EST February 28, 2003 UPDATED: 2:16 p.m. EST February 28, 2003 WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Former major leaguer Bobby Bonds, the father of San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds, has lung cancer. The Contra Costa Times reported Bonds is undergoing chemotherapy seven months after surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his kidney. The paper said Bonds was recovering well from his kidney procedure, but was diagnosed with lung cancer during the winter. The 56-year-old Bonds played for eight teams during a 14-season career. He was with the San Francisco Giants from 1968 to 1974. He had 332 career homers and stole 461 bases, and registered 30 homers and 30 steals in a season five times.

Guest Fay A. Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Dave..... Is this a metastasis to the lung from the kidney cancer, or a new primary lung cancer? Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveG Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The article did not say whether it is a met or primary. I looked elsewhere for more info but could not find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fay A. Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 You would be amazed by the numbers of people who have a lung met (or know someone who has a lung met) who believe that the person who has the met has "lung cancer". Not the same thing at all. (Rarely some poor soul will come along who does have a new primary lung cancer.) I hope that he has a speedy recovery and a good response to what ever treatments he is given... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
