Peter Jennings must really be having a hard time of it
he hasn't been on since he announced he had cancer.


I am pulling for him to beat this!

1. I am too. He sounded really bad on his last broadcast too.
I'm very afraid that in this case, no news is not good news.

I really hope I'm wrong and soon he will appear, bald and all, with his smile and great voice.

3. Missing Peter...

...plus, ever since he left, ABC has been drifting to the right for some reason.

4. Chemo is hell
and the fact that he went straight to chemo with no surgery indicates the cancer was not discovered very early. But miracles happen every day, and I'm praying for him.

7. Oh yes
My grandfather had lung cancer and went through all the chemo only to die a few days ago. :( I hope Peter gets through it though. Here's to rooting!
