I saw this Tuesday, Ronnie seems to be a very positive person and in my expierience of seeing people who have dealt with cancer's of various types, people with that type of attitude seem to do much better than people who don't. My mom being one of them, many prayers for RJD.

And also, it has been scinetifically proven that if you pray for someone who is sick they do much better than someone who is not prayed for.

I am certian that he will be okay. I should know, my mother is a nurse and she deals with cancer paitens all the time! There was this woman she cared for she had cervical cancer They caught it really late and her insides were COVERED in it. IT spread to her lungs, liver, and heart. She was only given a 20% chance of living and she literally told the family "start planning for a funeral" but I think that the family was super religious and the woman kept high spirits! after a month of treatment, the tumors were diminishing and a little while longer, she was CURED.

Hi Tito

I know we are both kind of off topic but I completely agree with you. As the Lizard King said "You CANNOT petition the Lord with Prayer"

A Men
or a modern day transaltion/interpretation 'so be it'

Peace be with Dio and everyone who is suffering cancer and the changes they are encounteringxx

I agree with Tito & Cap't Matt, we so often grieve for our beloved ones who have passed on, but the reality is they are at peace & it is, we who must journey on until the time comes & we are finally called home. It's important to try & leave something positive behind, be it music, art, parenting a child, loving a partner & friends, giving to charity or whatever, it will be our legacy. Dio darn-well created a legacy!!!

Guys stop talking like he's dying! it said in black and white that he caught it at an early state so he has more options of treatment. and they said that he started treatment imidattly after being diagnosed. I wonder what he's doing as a course of treatment........
