WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The main reason I am writing this column is that many people have asked me how I first realized I was suffering from a brain tumor and what I have done about it.
But I also want to relate the reaction to my disease, mostly compassionate, that belies Washington's reputation.
. . . . .
When Zelda said to call 911, I again resisted, but she again prevailed. I promptly suffered another seizure in the ambulance, the second of three seizures that day. I gained admittance to the high-quality Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, which has an excellent oncology staff. A biopsy was performed, which showed a large, grade IV tumor. In answer to my question, the oncologist estimated that I had six months to a year to live. Being read your death sentence is like being a character in one of the old Bette Davis movies.

I was never a big Novak fan but this is just terrible. These tumors are virtually always fatal. My best wishes for him and his family.
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I hate cancer.
Actually being read your death sentence is not the worse thing that can happen to you. One along with their family and friends can make this time a wonderful and sometimes sad experience.
Bob, mistakes continue to be made.

Joe and Valerie....real class acts.
Three things I would do right now:
1) Alkaline his body to 7.4 constantly
2) Oxygen - “Opaline Oxy”
3) Clean Colon and Enzymes
I would not lay down and die, and I would not do chemo and there other stuff.
My God Bless him.
I remember you mentioning your wife's brain tumor on another thread, and am very sorry for your loss.
Thanks. Most likely the Hobbit Hole.
Mr. Novak was really good on the Capital Gang.
I wish him well and wish God’s Blessings upon him.
Dang. I might have had a chance to meet him at a get-together next month, had this not occured.
I’m sorry to hear about your wife. A brain tumor is a horrible disease.

Oops, it was just on NRO this AM, and I didn’t do a search. My bad!
Prayers for him and his family....this is tough
Why not chemo?
