I'm sorry, but not surprised, to see that he passed away.

His final commication with his naturopathic doctor....
http://www.citylightsnews.com/ce/diary-1aug04.htm
It surprises me that you would ask me how I am doing since you know I run
an online diary since October 2003.
I am going to open my mind with you to let you know how unlucky I feel in
having met you on my healing path.
Your "piece of cake" approach to serious cancer activity has fooled me in
taking wrong decisions. Don't worry, I know very well what you would
say... the ultimate decision lay in my hands. However this decision was
made as a result of your confidence that this was an easy matter using
your program. While on the program when I showed concern about the CEA
rising. You said this was probably a good thing as the body was getting
rid of the cancer. You could not be any further away from the truth.
I am not running away from my responsibility, but I can still point at
your actions and your irresponsible words to help someone else in my
situation make better decisions.
Your playing remote naturopathic doctor with serious cases and suggesting
that you have alternatives to surgery... is criminal. My tumor, operable
in October 2003 resulted inoperable in March 2004 and I had no
alternatives to the stoma since my bowel was totally blocked. The stoma
has taken away my quality of life as a physically active person.
I am in palliative care now, I better spell this for you since you don't
read the diary. I had ample time to ponder on all has happened in the last
few months and see what I could have done differently.
You are a very bad example of what a N.D. can be. Your arrogance in
thinking that you are the only one to know what is right is inadmissible.
This is an open letter that will be added to my online diary to help other
people to beaware of charlatans that can have a profound effect on one's
health.

Here's what NOT to do.
Ignore your doctor and go "alt-med"

and this is what it will get you.

Good bye Stephen "My Beautiful One"

On October 26, 2004, Stephen Serenlli, began his next journey, as he had
hoped, gracefully and gently, in the arms of his loving wife, Eileen. He
leaves behind many friends and family.

Stephen was involved in many community activities. His love for running
took him all over the world participating in marathons including the Iron
Man. His greatest and final marathon was his battle with cancer, which he
wanted to share to help others and is documented here in this on-line
diary.
