Ill with terminal lung cancer, ex-slot manager presses for ban
February 14th, 2010
In April 2008, 60-year-old Cheryl Rose got a bad cough that wouldn’t go away.
Her doctors thought she had asthma — a bizarre turn for a woman who had never had difficulty breathing, not even during frequent workouts at the gym.
A few weeks later, an X-ray revealed that her right lung was filling with fluid at a frightening rate. Doctors told Rose, a woman who lived a healthy lifestyle and had never taken regular medications, that she probably wouldn’t live to see 2009.
