but not just yet.
As a very few of you know, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer in late 2012 and treated with radiation in 2013. The treatment appeared to have beaten the disease into remission, and I was hopeful I'd be around another few years.
Well, it was discovered last month that the cancer has come back with a vengeance, and it's now Stage 4. The consensus of my treating physicians is that I have 4 - 6 months left on this mortal coil.
I've been posting at the GOS since 2005. I'd like to think some of you will miss my commentary here. (I ask those of you who won't miss it to please keep that to yourselves - in the context of this diary, hearing that would be a total bummer.)
So, I'm writing this post this morning to let you all know that I will not have just disappeared from the site for no reason, and I want to make clear, for the record, despite strong differences with many of you about what it will take to get our Democratic party back on track, I greatly value this community. We are a group of people intensely committed to making this country work better for all its residents. We are a group that strives to find ways to share the pie, not hoard it just for our political, religious and sociological BFFs.
Now, please follow me below the metastasized hair follicle for the balance of this diary...
