Oh my gosh....  :no: That's must be terrifying news, but at least it was detected very early

Oh wow - this is the first I have read about this.  I had no idea.

We had severe weather recently - I know Kim Cunningham was on, so that was good.  Having Jim Cantore, Carl Parker, and Greg Postel on would help.  They need some camera time.

.....oh, and we had another tornado that missed Xenia, Ohio this week.  There were tornado warnings just east of me and the storm went over Xenia, continued northeast, and touched down near Cedarville (an EF3!).
Dr. Forbes would have been awesome on that storm.

I am really glad he is doing okay.  He's like The Fujita Scale expert.

Since it was detected very early...the prognosis should look pretty good for him but he'll more than likely need treatment.

 :o :(

I'm glad Dr. Forbes is at least feeling good enough to continue working, but this is still very bad news.  My wishes and prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery.

I hope Dr. Forbes' cancer is curable and will be cured.  Very glad it got caught early. :thumbsup:
