A brief note for those on the list who haven't heard---
Doug is in hospital in Paris being treated for quite advanced cancer of the
prostate. He has had three operations and is due for another about now.
Then he should be going to a rehabilitation place for therapy, and won't be
home for a number of weeks yet. The long-term prospects are,
unfortunately, not good. Treatment will stop the progress of the cancer,
but it will start again later.
He is not in very low spirits, he's immobile and weakened but
intellectually active, planning his future books etc. as he lies there.
