For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Congrats! Keep a positive attitude... and eat well. A good diet is everything when dealing with cancer.

Re: So it seems to be lung cancer....
Thanks for sharing the good news. We all need to hear about great things that are most important because they are most personal. Helps to counter the gloom-and-doom about general events.
