About a month ago my oncologist told me that unless they (miraculously) find something to prevent my cancer from spreading/sprouting new tumors that I probably have 3 to 6 months. As my wife said as we left his office "I didn’t need to hear that, but I did need to hear that. I’m 70 years old and have had a good, sometimes slightly exciting life. I’ve traveled extensively in Europe and parts of the Middle East, I’ve been married to the same sweet lady for almost 38 years and I’m secure in the knowledge that whatever kind of problems I may leave her with financial ones aren’t on that list.
My brother and sister in law are at our place this weekend and they, as well as my wife and I thought this is one of Pastis’ best.
As noted philosopher, songwriter and musician, the late Warren Zevon said after receiving the death sentence from his oncologist; “enjoy every sandwich”. Great advice that I try to follow.
Extraordinary measures taken by “Dr” Leopold, but the patient didn’t pull through.
