Dear friends and users of BOINCstats,

Unfortunately, the latest scans and tests revealed that I will not win the battle against my cancer. I have several choices, all of which are bad. If I choose to undergo surgery or treatment again, I might gain a few months, but I will also experience more pain during that time. Therefore, I have decided not to pursue further treatment.

My doctors cannot provide a prognosis for how much time I have left. However, there are two possible ways my illness could progress. In the best-case scenario, there will be no metastases; the tumor will continue to grow and will cause me increasing pain. If I endure long enough, I will very likely develop a spinal cord injury causing paralysis. If metastases do occur, everything will progress very rapidly. Regardless of how the disease progresses, I will pass away within too short a time.

I will now look for one or more individuals to continue BOINCstats for me.
