2. Thanks. I would have Googled it myself but it caught my off guard and
I panic-posted:)

Hard to believe he's had trouble for a couple of months now...I live out of the district and state at the moment.

THANKS!

3. His condition
In 2004, Norwood underwent a lung transplant which was necessary because of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In December 2006 he began chemotherapy treatments for cancer which has spread to his liver, and is suspected to be caused by drugs that he had to take due to the lung transplant. Since Congress reconvened in January 2007, Norwood has missed most of the sessions due to weakness from the chemotherapy.
