remember...don't forget

had a extreme extreme extreme shortness of breath last night just moving from the commode to the bed.  This manuveur took me an hour and a half with 4 nurses assisting.  It was barely tolerated.  Otherwise didn't sleep really apart from the last couple of hours leading up to about 8 o'clock in the morning.
Ray Hohl came over last night and we had a 2 hour medical consultation.  The result of that way that treating bad symptoms when they occur badly doesn't seem to produce adequate rescue.  So we now are going to shift and treat the symptoms before they require rescue.
So we will start that process today.  The immediate family are in favour of that as am I.  We talked to my mother and cousin Bev last night and they also understand the circumstances.
Without any treatment, my life expectancy is no more than about 10 days.
Will blog every couple of hours over the next day or two so that people can stay informed about the progress and about process.
The lung cancer paper seems to be now accepted with some minor revisions and Joel Klein will look after that.  Particularly like to thank Jeffrey Kern for helping with that expedited process.
