Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, stricken with cancer
Susan Whitall / The Detroit News
Friends and fans of Aretha Franklin offered prayers and good wishes after learning that the Queen of Soul, one of Detroit's beloved musical artists, is suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Sources familiar with the singer's ailment told The Detroit News today that she was diagnosed with the often lethal form of cancer. Experts, however, say it can be beaten if detected early enough.

A Dr. that was interviewed said the type of surgery she had to combat the cancer has a success rate of about 25% for a 5 year expectancy.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.
