Two weeks ago I spoke with Tony Blankley. He was in the ICU at Sibley Hospital in Washington. He was glad to hear from me. He was cheerful, upbeat, optimistic.
It seems a problem biopsy following his past battle with stomach cancer had led to troublesome effects, notably internal bleeding, then downhill from there. But the worst was over, he said, the morphine had worn off, and he was back to writing his column. But, Tony said matter-of-factly, his stomach cancer had spread elsewhere. He would move forward soon with experimental treatments that showed promise. Of course, his brave wife Lynda was very supportive. Tony spoke proudly about his two sons (“they are young men”) and he worried about his daughter (“she’s not yet an adult”).
