\u201cLike we\u2019ve said before, cancer is a terrible, terrible thing,\u201d Robert Farnham said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s his time to walk that road, but he\u2019s cancer free. He\u2019s doing really, really good. He sings at home again, the whole thing. He\u2019s doing fantastic. Just the other day he was walking around with his cane and did a little bit of a dance, which was pretty fabulous. He is walking with his dog a lot. He is really, really happy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
