Oncologist says It's Over


The Dire Oncologist Says It's Over



Dear Friends, I have received a near guaranteed death sentence.


It is non operable lung cancer that has spread to spine, ribs, and perhaps other areas in the skeleton. The cancer is busy eating my spinal column and trying to invade the spinal canal an and attack the spinal cord itself.


The oncologist told Suzi and I that there was a 2% chance of survival even with chemo. Alternative clinics have much higher success rates and we are researching them as well as other treatments.

I am posting a closed for inventory sale. All our time from now on will be spent on research for a cure. Since we are in the rapids and time is of the essence, we will not have much time for conversations. You can imagine that I would love to visit with all my old friends and family, but I must have my available energy for research and working up my own protocol or at least a protocol to attack this cancer.


I love and appreciate you, and to the extent I can I will keep you informed. I trust you understand that I do not accept that I am a dead man and I entirely reject this callous death sentence on behalf of myself and my wife, Susan.
