what is the very latest update on peter jennings' battle against lung cancer?

Dear Bubber, 

From the news today: 

" Jennings, a former smoker, is currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer." 
(SOURCE: "ABC, PBS Top News Emmy Nods", Broadcasting & Cable, July 8,
2005 <http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA623978?display=Breaking+News>)

From July 6th: 
"ABC News President David Westin says Peter Jennings remains an
optimist regarding his battle with lung cancer.

During an interview in The Los Angeles Times, Westin said: "Peter has
shown great strength and grace, but he's battling a very, very
difficult disease."

Westin did not offer a prognosis during the interview."

Probably, Jennigs prefer not to get into details and expects people to
respect his privacy.

further clarifications on this answer before you rate it.

it's as good an answer as i could have gotten if i talked to jennings
himself or his doctor(s) face to face. my father died of lung cancer
at age 82 three years ago. jennings' case is standard procedure: the
"treatment" is always underway fine and dandy, nobody knows anything,
no one has a prognosis, no one says anything until the patient takes
the almost inevitable turn for the worse, usually within a few months
from the diagnosis of lung cancer--when it has become obvious the case
is terminal. then it's simply a handful of months, half a dozen give
or take a few, until death arrives. if jennings follows anywhere near
the time path my dad did, he will be leaving us early next year.

I am sorry for your loss :-(
