Subscribe to Our NewsletterFacing Future — Update from StuartDear Friends, I am writing to you with some difficulty, but am doing it nonetheless, to say thank you to everyone. I am not on chemotherapy now. We are trying an immunotherapy that is not approved for the specific mutation of my cancer’s tumors, but is tuned for a slightly different mutation. The way immunotherapy works, is it tries to lay bare a particular point of attack that my immune system can then pick up on and kill the tumor cells themselves. So it is now my task to sharpen my immune system through diet and whatever else I can find. If anyone has any input on that matter, please send it to me at [email protected] or we can perhaps speak by phone or Internet. I have succeeded in stabilizing my body weight within a very limited diet. I am getting help preparing food since the pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands has become completely debilitating without painkillers. And even with some heavy duty painkillers, I am still in pain a great deal of the time. Right now my friend Cynthia is staying with me and helping both with food prep and with purging my collection of ‘stuff’. The latter task, while difficult, has an end in sight. The task of fixing food for me, getting me to doctor appointments, etc. does not end until I pass on. Anyone in a position to take a ‘long vacation’ on Oahu to help me, please contact me. You would love it here on our little Honolulu Farms in the foothills of the Ko’olau Mountains. I can provide lodging and a car in exchange for help. For those of you who have been doing meditations to assist me, you might send energetic thoughts to my immune system for the tough task it has ahead. I will be returning to the Mayo Clinic in late April. With gratitude and love for you all, Stuart *** We wish Stuart all the best on his healing journey.
