Saying goodbye to my TV friend

[yagosaga]

Hello Charlie,

I am very sorry to read this about your TV friend. These are always sad news which brought back to our mind how short our lifes can be. It is hard in these situations to hope for a miracle! I know.

For myself, I got a very stadgering diagnosis from the doctor in March. He found a small-celled lung neoplasm (oat-cell carcinoma) inoperable due to many metastases in the liver. The average life expectancy with this diagnosis is appr. one year. It was a great shock for my family and for me, but I found strong power in my faith, so I feel good and happy in face of this lethal disease. The cancer has become part of the everyday's life.

Meanwhile I am in the fourth cycle of chemotherapy with good results, so I can hope for a longer life expectancy.

Due to this disease, I am not able to write frequently in AK, but when I have an idea or a commentary, I will do it.

Now, I have to stop since in one hour I get my next intravenous drip of the chemotherapy.

Kind regards,
Eckhard
