No, I don't want you to pump up my scores. I need no technical advice on Folding, the client is easy to load and does not require a lot of tweeking. I need your help Folding though. My wife of 26 years was diagnosed with a type of brain cancer called Glioblastoma. I thought that it was a big scary word and probably should not have wikipedia'd it in the surgical waiting room of Tacoma General. It's nearly always fatal and quickly at that.
That was January, she's gone through chemo and radiation, and the tumor has not been stopped. She's on a new treatment called Avasten which attempts to stop the growth of blood vessels associated with tumors and with that we hope for the best. With the exception of some vision loss, she's the same person, although we had a scare with a recent swelling episode that was a harbinger of things to come.
I don't know if folding is going to find the cure for this - I know Folding helps the research though. This beast is something I feel so powerless to battle. I can't do anything directly to stop it, but I can fold, and I can ask you to fold. Although my individual contribution seems small, I know that we make a huge difference together. Sorry if I appear a bit emotional, yesterday afternoon I had the doctor sign the "accelerated benefit" form to send to my life insurance company stating that she has less than 12 months to live. Evi and I are going to go see things and do thing while she is able, and while we are away the computers in our house will be humming. For those who are so inclined prayers are appreciated as well.
