June 6, 1999 update from Dennis McKenna
To All,
Thanks for your love and support for Terence and his family at this sad time. We do appreciate your concern very much.
I originally offered to send out regular updates on Terence's condition and progress, and as a result have been indudated with such requests. We realize that people do love Terence and want to be kept informed, but in service of the need to reduce email volume, (and to make time to give attention to the many other emails that are coming in regarding possible additional therapies) we've set up a website where these bulletins will be posted. go to www.levity.com/eschaton to look at all bulletins sent so far and new ones as they appear. Please feel free to forward this to all of your friends who may be interested. Please if you can help it do not send further requests to me to put you on the list...this is quickly becoming a full-time job...hopefully the website posting will free me for more pressing matters...
At the same time, please know that we *do* appreciate your love and support; and, *we love you back*! Thanks so much, the good vibes and good wishes are the best healing energy anyone can ask for...and we are just drinking it in...
To those of you who asked about Terence's condition; he is doing well. He is neither unconscious, demented, or suffering in any way at this point. His seizures are being controlled with medications, the swelling of the tumor (an expected result of the gamma knife treatment) is under control with steroid antiinflammatory medications. Steroids are fine for short-term use, but have adverse side effects, so the goal is to reduce the levels of steroids he must take before the severe side-effects manifest. So far they have not, and Terence is feeling good, looking good, and taking all this with as good an attittude and with typical good humor as can be mustered in view of what is going on...so to all those who are worrying that T is suffering or otherwise in distress...please do not worry. Suffering may well come, but for right now, things are good and he is enjoying life.
In love and light, with much gratitude,
Dennis
