Hello
everyone. It appears the end of my life story is approaching rapidly. A few
weeks ago I had a CT scan that revealed all my lymph nodes and spleen were
dramatically enlarged (indicative of leukemia taking its final toll. A week
later I had a conversation of my oncologist who indicated that there is a
treatment to reduce the swelling of the lymph nodes, that it was a dangerous
drug that could immediately kill me, and that there was no other long-range
benefits such as prolonged life, a better quality of life, or such. I declined
the drug.
At
that the oncologist said, “In that case sir, I need to let you know there is
nothing more medical science can do for you. I am now on hospice. They feel I
have 2 weeks at the most before I die. I am at peace with the situation. I’ve
even joked with local brothers about the foot race we’ll have in the new
system.
I don’t
plan on writing anymore on this blog.
