I was amazed once again last night when I was at a friend's house, and happened to mention that John Kerry was diagnosed with prostate cancer in Feb 2003. My friend had no idea about this...hadn't ever heard about it.
It is unreal to me that throughout campaign 2000, I was constantly hearing about Dick Cheney's bad ticker, but here in 2004, we have a man running for PRESIDENT, who was diagnosed with a very SERIOUS form of CANCER less than TWO YEARS AGO, and not ONCE have I HEARD ANYONE in the mainstream news MENTION this fact, or update us on his cancer status, which I presume is in remission, or "cured" as far as cancer can be cured these days.
WHY IS THIS? Is it not important anymore, like it was in 2000?
