But I do wonder about that whole cancer thing. I've known many healthy ppl who led a very healthy life ending up dying from cancer before 40 years old... On the other hand you have ppl that smoked and drank all their lives and are still among us at 85. Go figure.

I hope your grandfather will be okay. We never know how things will turn out, dont lose hope!
