It was. five. months ago. today….
i was sitting in the hospital room after a biopsy,colonoscopy,etc
that my. surgeon wthree other doctors. came into. my room
in my groggy state ,i sat up. and said hello
she. the surgeon,then asked. me ? do i kow. my name,where was I,did i know. what operations were done. few. hours earlier,was I aware of. what hospial I was in whats my oncologist name
i replied,got. an a on the test. and. she leaned. in
close. and said
your. cancer is back………….ok,I said
she then proceeded. to explain it was outside. my. stomach,spreading. fast
uncontainable ,unoperable,any more treatment. was fruitless,no. chemo or operation was going. to help. in future,that. I. had. two maybe. four. months. to. live
and. to. go. home
make. my. plans. on whats. next,and it was way past stage. four.
to. say the least. i was speechless. and. sat ataring. at. the four. of them in silence
I said. ok. thanks,and. asked. when i could leave. unc. chapel n.c. and. head. back. home. to. tell
katy.
four. five. hours. later. i was. dressed and out. door,at. the exit, i knew i was. going to India
to remain. for. the. time. I was. told had. left. to live.
made appts. the next week w surgeon. and oncologist of last four years
and was picked up. soon driven home………
two weeks later was onindian. soil in new delhi nov 2
its. now. five months. later.
my stomach. is flat,the expansion of fluids was drained two mo. ago
22-1/2 pounds lighter,
and. my pain. management changed. from methadone,to patches on my shoulder
that send morphine like drugs,fifty x stronnger,
into my. body 24/7
changed every 72 hours
i am walking. getting out daily. by wheelchair. seeing. the ocean. smiling at every ,person i see
jovial,happy. and. seeing. doctors weekly in my hotel room,all are amazed at. my good spirit. health,blood pressure,happy go lucky. good vibes,was bedridden. not. to walk ever
again and losing. pounds. fast ,until. now,
feeling. good. have. eating. plumbing. problems,daily,but. out of. pain
see the sun come up n go down.
glad. to be here in goa. india. and. not. a bed in a hospital with. tubes n chemo and nurses all
over surrounded by sick people ,
have. made. a choice to be in a place where. i. can control. my. destiny my future. and.
will know when time. is up.
so
you only live once
make. time. to. stop. your. busy. life and. remember. every. day. whats important
in the end. you are alone,but.
spend time with. your family. and friends. and. do the. things you always wanted
go. to the places. you have dreamed about. to visit. stay focused on
whats. the most. important. things. in. your. life

Scott – what a wonderful and moving email. Thank you so much for sharing.
I don’t know if you remember Sig Gordon……he was with Sherwood and then Techline and then went into his own futon business. Sig is a dear old friend….now 78. He took me to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia for my first time about 18 years ago amongst many other times we spent together. He is now institutionalized in DC with Alzheimers. I went up to DC yesterday to visit his wife and then we went to see him. I think he remembered me once…it was quite sad and I cried – but he still has the same twinkle in his eye and wonderful smile.
In all events…..life throws curve balls at us….certainly you know that more than most of us. Your spirit and charm and attitude give us all a wonderful lesson and attitude to follow.
Be well….and keep posting!

Hello Scott, I am one who attended AIS after your time there. You and Katy are such an inspiration, your courage to take a non-traditional tack is enlightening. I plan to hold safe your messages on how to do it right, how to see things clearly. It makes so much sense. Thank you for living a good life, earning an A+ on this difficult course, and most of all, sharing your “class notes” with us.
