Peter --
I agree. My Dad died from cancer 6 years ago. While he lived for a few months after diagnosis, the last few weeks were horrible for us. Fortunately, he couldn't feel the pain at that point. I don't wish this upon anyone. While Tammy Faye had her trials in the 80's, I believe that she really tried to make up for it over the past 10 years.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. :'(
