A few days ago, Hamilton Jordan (who wanted his name pronounced
"jerdan") died of mesothelioma. It was one of three cancers with which
he had had to cope.

He was a politician, but nevertheless a brother. His three cancers were
mesothelioma, lymphoma, and prostate.

He developed a very wise viewpoint on cancer, something which far too
many of our brothers fail to understand.

If I had to choose the single most important quote it would be this: "Be
an active partner in the medical decisions that are made about your life!"

Here, errors and all, is a transcript of an interview on WebMd:

"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
-- John Donne
