I am a 71 year old man who survived Lung Cancer in 2001. My wife of 46 years passed away in Jan of 2006. She lost her long battle with metastatized breast Cancer, since 2004 and had other non cancer related problems. I have been walking around the Burlington Mall to strengthen my lungs. I have also started trying to eat healthier and have lost some weight. I have been cooking, off and on, since I could see the stove top. Nothing fancy normally, just plain food.
