I'm coming, light.

I found myself not writing a patient's diary, but rather writing about events and feelings, what I experienced and what I learned, an autobiography for myself and my generation as well.
Without realizing it, my writing moved from the private to the public sphere, and so I moved from scientific explanations to news of political developments, from refuting myths about so-called "alternative medicine" to following the death of Queen Elizabeth, reflecting on death and life.
If my salvation were to be achieved by some miracle, I would strive towards that light which I came to know and appreciate more during my illness, and I would give what I could in gratitude for being fortunate to have a radiant wife, radiant father and mother, and many friends whose light reassures me of the truth of goodness in the world.
If fate grants me the time that the doctors have estimated, I hope that what comes after my tunnel will be light and tranquility, and that some light will pass through this book to whoever reads it.
