NBC's Tom Brokaw diagnosed with cancer
By DYLAN BYERS | 2/11/14 6:21 PM EST
NBC News veteran Tom Brokaw announced Tuesday that he was diagnosed in August with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow.
In a statement, published on NBCNews.com, Brokaw said he and physicians at the Mayo Clinic were very encouraged with his progress.
"With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come," Brokaw wrote.
Brokaw joined NBC News in 1966 and served as the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News from 1982 to 2004. He currently serves as a special correspondent.

This is what killed my father. Depending on what stage it's at, he might do well, for awhile. It cannot be eradicated.

Oh for cripes sake! This guy is older than dirt! Ya gotta die from somethin'! I'm certainly not goin' to shed any tears. I can only hope to live as long as this dino!

The only thing I can say is hope he doesn't have to go thru the pain associated with cancer. Otherwise, the guy has led a long and fruitful life doin' what he loved to do. Not many can say the same.

^And he was pretty good at it.
I also hear that Shirley Temple died yesterday, at the age of 86 is what I seem to remember hearing.

It pretty much wipes out your immune system. It also causes lesions inside the bones, which was painful for my father. Usually what kills you is pneumonia (my dad) or something Like MRSA. It also will cause COPD.

Bummer! My respects to yer dad! Lost mine when I was 23. I come from a long line of alkies and he caught pneumonia, one of his ulcers ruptured and he bled to death before they caught it while in the hospital. He was just 55. My step dad made it to 74 before he cashed in. I doubt I'll come close to that.
-
Best wishes, Mr. Brokaw.
(I find it comical that the DUmmies and their ilk think he's a conservative.)

Heh. You're too damned ornery to cash in early, ya bastage. You'll be around to piss on my grave. I figure you're so damned mean you won't be pulling the plug till you're 113 and change. :-)

Naw, man, all that shit's bogus as hell. They were passing 'em out by the gross there for awhile -- both the bitchslaps and the h5's. I just like it when n00bs come around and they trip over their tongues when they see that shit and think it's a big deal. :rotf:

You can still blame Canada. It's the thing to do.

Most of the asswipes that find themselves in "journalism" are so far left they keep sticking their nose in their left ear.

Heh, heh! Well, that was whole idea in the first place, wasn't it? You pulled it off like a pro! Remember when they removed 'em? LOL!

And all this time I was thinkin' they were tryin' to find their small intestines! Go figger!

They hate him because he wrote "The Greatest Generation" They have no respect for the generation that saved the world and then came back and helped make America great. They think "they" are the greatest generation. Because we all know living in your mother's basement smoking pot and living off the government are lofty achievements.

I knew a person who had what he had.
Next to lung cancer, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Prayers up, Mr. Browkaw.

Prayers that Mr Brokaw finds Jesus before he stands before Him.

get well soon :yahoo:
