He sends his regards. He has had a few setbacks in his treatments and 
is out of remission but he has thrown the dice again and is on a new 
experimental drug trial based at a hospital in the States.
To make that more interesting the stem cell donor has either withdrawn 
or cannot be found. We live in interesting times. ;)
You will never guess what he asked me to take to the hospital for him. A 
half oz. of rolling tobacco and a packet of small green papers. I’ve 
done some questionable things like working for multinational oil 
companies but I have never taken tobacco into a cancer ward. A new low 
for me. :-)
His spirits are high and he is fighting as hard as ever and making the 
nurse’s life as difficult as you would think.

Thanks for the update, Stephen.  This cancer is a nasty, nasty strain 
(though arguably, no cancer isn't - this one is particularly nasty, 
though).  Here's hoping he gets back into remission and they find another 
suitable donor.

I feared as much ... emailed him several weeks ago and it went 
unanswered. Next time you see or talk to him mention that his brother 
from another mother has been thinking about him
