Re: Hal Fishman diagnosed with colon cancer

concur. colonoscopy.

However, Blue Cross, my insurance company didn't seem to think anesthesia was
necessary.

I paid for it myself. Well worth it.

Fishman has served as KTLA's lead anchor since 1975.

Doing the LA tv news since something like 1962, starting for many
years as George Putnam's sidekick.

As a private pilot, has long featured any aviation-related story as
the evening lead.

A pioneer in the industry, of whom it is hard to find any negative
opinions at all.

Thank you for the many years, Hal, come on back and do some more for
us if you can, but what you've done has already been part of the lives
of millions in LA and through your example will affect all tv news
viewers as long as the medium survives.

Vaya con Dios.

PSA:
Two words: screening colonoscopy. Insurance companies pay for most (80% -
100%) of the cost. Get one if your 50 or older and then every 5-10 years
thereafter or ask your doctor when to get one if you have a family history
of CR cancer.
