We all hope that. I sometimes wonder what I would do
if faced with chronic pain - and what I could endure.
Pretty sure I don't want to find out too much about
this subject, though.

But the research points out two disquieting facts:
even though the tumors shrink, they don't go away
and in fact tend to start growing again after a while;
and worse, lifespan isn't increased by the treatment,

He wanted me to ride down to Florida with him last
month, but I was otherwise engaged. So I presume he's

Boston so haven't seen him lately.
