Aw. Really sad news. God bless him. My grandad had Parkinson's, a terrible illness, and to have that and cancer as well is tragic.

Hopefully they have contained or got rid of the cancer.

Quite common in older men. My dad had it for over 10 years before he died and it was not the cancer that killed him. He used to get monthly then 3 monthly hormone jabs to keep it at bay.

Hope Billy is ok.

If you're going to get Parkinson's Disease, I guess 70 is a good age. With the drugs they have now it'll slow down the process. He'll probably live to a ripe old age.
