Email just sent: Dear Doctors, Thank You!, but I'll not be accepting treatment.

Good morning friends!  I'm so sorry for any time and resources of
yours I may have wasted.  I'll not be accepting treatment.  I'll
not accept $10's of thousands to give me a year, when, well,
so many of our children, born, and to be
born, desperately need, and are entitled
to such resources.  Dr. C, who has known and cared for me
for years, knows this as my long-standing position regarding
$ and care for me. Before we found the liver cancers, and
treatment odds were 50% for 5 years, well, maybe, tho I'd
still probably have reached the same conclusion.  But, now,
20% odds of 5 years, with the liver cancers; meaning that
more likely $30,000 (20 years earnings, or more, for 4 billion
of our kin?  $30,000 would keep 60,000 of my starving 
children alive for another day, literally; 26,000 died today,
another 26,000 tomorrow... for lack of such funds for clean
water.  No.  That would be hideous, inhumane greed for me
to accept that.  It's for them.  No. 

My work for our children is immensely well served by the care I've been
given so far, through removal of the first 2 tumors.  Had we not
done that,
A. I'd not have had the recent, and forthcoming few
months of full productivity, and
B. I'd not KNOW what time the
'train' was leaving, and might not have been able to prioritize
nearly as well for the little time I have left.  I've explained further
my views in the Start Loving blog  if that would be useful to you.

Dr. C, I WILL hope for:

1. pain management help when the
time comes; and
2. maybe admittance to that Hospice associated
with Christ House when I can't go on here on the street? 
However, I'm determined to maintain this
24/7 Averting Ecocide Vigil in front of the Canadian Embassy until,
well, past pain, past incontinence (what did they invent adult
diapers for, anyway?), past immobility.  Till the
bitter end when I just can't function. This vigil must keep going.

As to the pain management, I seem fine, for now.  For weeks I've
had occasional, mild pain in the area I now see from online materials
is about where the liver is.  Ooops.  But it is nothing, so far.

With great thanks and gratitude for what you've done for me,

James 'Loving' McGinley
