Dear Hossein,
Thank you for your latest communication and pardon again for the brevity of my response. My recovery from cancer treatment is progressing but I continue to have side effects from the radiation and chemotherapy that interfere with my abilities. The PET scan to determine if I am now cancer free or will need further treatment has now been scheduled for October 15. I will let you know the results when I have them.
My deepest congratulations on these latest publications. I will add these to our bibliography of published work on Congress 60. The speed at which this body of literature is growing is quite impressive and testament to all of the hard work that you and your coauthors have invested in these achievements in spite of the obstacles you face.
I wish you the best with harvesting the D.Sap. I look forward to any photos you can send of the process.
I have not yet returned to any writing but still have hopes to od so in the coming months. The mental fog from the chem is lifting but I am still facing extreme fatigue from all the treatments I went through. My doctors tell me this should decrease in time, but I am missing the enjoyment I get from work on various papers. Hopefully, our work will commence anew in the weeks or months to come.
Please extend my warmest regards to your family and to all members of Congress 60.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
