One in a Million

I was talking to a doctor and someone in his office mentioned cancer treatments. I told them that my Dad had recently been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and was starting treatment. I then told them that he had prostate cancer 8 years ago and now had an entirely different form of cancer.

Then I asked - what are the odds of getting a different cancer twice in a lifetime - not just prostate cancer returning? The doctor was not an oncologist but told me that it probably similar to the odds of getting struck by lightning - one in a million.

Well meet Mr. One in a Million.

Phil as a boy - before this cancer nonsense started


Should we have him buy a lottery ticket if he is that lucky?
