    Nov. 18 editions of both the P-G and the Tribune Review have reported that Joe Paterno is now under treatment for lung cancer. The diagnosis was made last weekend during a doctor visit concerning bronchial symptoms, according to Paterno's son. Doctors are reportedly optimistic about the treatment. Didn't see this noted here on the board.

    Just saw this last night. They say it's treatable.

    But this just hasn't been his week.

    I am just asking did anyone know if he smoked or not?

    That's sad news. Lung cancer is a tough one to beat, so I wish him the best.

    The news article I read said he had never smoked.
