RIP John Andretti

[rodney eppes]

Andretti, battled colon cancer for three years, before passing. He was 56 years old. I suppose the Family kept the cancer, undisclosed, as I don't recall ever hearing any of this. Of course it's been many years, since he Raced in NASCAR, or other styles. After his first diagnosis, John made it his mission, to get people to have Colon Screenings.

whoa, did not know that was brewing for him either.
Now that I think of it, I'm about due for a probing.

I think I was around 55, went I got approval to go. Doctor & Insurance preferred 60, but yet Health facilities were advertising men to do it by 50! Andretti was 53, when he was first diagnosed, & had to undergo Chemo. They thought they had it, but it came back, spread, & that was it.
