So it is incurable, but I plan to stay around for a while

[springrite]

I am in a happy mood. I posted my letter and it was re-posted so many times. I got so much response that I could hardly read them all. The most important ones to me are:

Doctors in hospitals tell me they have been inspired by the letter and are beginning to use it to help patients to great effect;

I have a few patients I had to abandon before we have finished treatment. They tell me that this letter is worth ten sessions and they feel great after reading it.

Most heartwarmingly, I got responses from people who are facing possible death or who just survived. We even had some voice chat. It was wonderful.

Fifteen minutes till Christmas in Beijing. I love this Christmas.

Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!

[Karl Henning]

God bless you & yours, Paul!

[Jaakko Keskinen]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[vandermolen]

And from me too. 

[Florestan]

Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!

To you and your loved ones too. 

[aligreto]

Merry Christmas and thank you for all of your inspiration

You've been such a great friend to me, Paul. If I could give anything at all back to you, it would be my sincere gratitude for, not only befriending me, but for your remarkable spirit and reading your posts. And, most of all, music is alive in you. As Sergei Rachmaninov said: "Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music." Stay strong and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Also, Merry Christmas to all of the other GMG members! Karl, Karlo, Brian, Jeffrey (Vandermolen), Jeffrey Smith, Ray, Zauber, Sarge, Ilaria, Paul (and whoever else I forgot to mention), I appreciate your tolerance and kindness for putting up with a moron like me. For anyone here who I've been a jerk to, I'm deeply sorry. Please forgive me.

Time for an update!

So it's incurable. So what! With Chinese herbal medicine, meditation and lots of positive spirits (Oh, no no, not alcohol!), a miracle has taken place. I am actually mostly recovered and even some of the abnormal cells have turned to normal cells. I went to my first lecture last week and survived well. I am trying to do one a week, maybe, to see how I can handle it. I can walk a mile or more and take care of my daily activities. Medical science can not explain it, but I think I know.

If everything goes well, I am planning to go to Philadelphia in late July to early August. I am writing a book, as some of you have suggested. I hope to finish most if not all the manuscript by then and talk to my co-writer in person and, maybe meet a couple of publishers. The book may be titled "Letters to the Heart (or from the heart)".

Anyone in the Philadelphia area I may meet? Concerts? I usually need half a day or a full day to recover from a long meeting (or a concert), so there is no guarantee that, having to schedule so many recovery sessions that I'd have time to actually meet anyone! But I will try!

Once again, thank you everyone for being there for me!

I am not far from Philadelphia. I mean, it's not super-close, but I've driven down to the Philly Museum of Art several times in under three hours.

Great to hear you are doing better!

Ever the skeptic, I stand by my original conjecture, misdiagnosis.

Better news is not possible...I am very happy for you, and your family. You might well grow an old man yet

And may you grow a beard like Harry's!

I will wear one!

I will wear one! 

Some of the clip-ons, these days . . . quite nearly realistic . . . .

Nothing beats the real thing. A real beard carries wisdom, Paul knows that
