No one here gets out alive.

Over the last couple months Peaches had been quietly retreating from "Forum Life" and his SM posting had slowed down and stopped on July 26th with a post about John Hinckley....He hadn't posted on CBT for a few weeks either, although he had popped in a few times and rekt a post here and there. He was updating us every so often on his current health,(I don't think anyone here has the permissions to see his update thread,  his last update was from 15 days ago, +/-



Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm not as public on social media as our late friend Dingle(Dingle-Berry-Mint??), evidently.



Not that the actual diagnosis matters much, there are two different diagnoses that fit here, but there ain't a dollar's worth of difference between them. Even the guy in StL has nodded to the peer pressure of 3 other doctors calling it AML as in the above posts, and I think it's also able to be described as Myeloid Fibrosis which is not considered a cancer but has the same ultimate effect.



I did a few weeks of semi-brutal chemo at the VA, and as predicted it mostly exacerbated the symptoms by reducing blood cell counts of the good kind along with reducing the bad ones. Ultimately (a week ago) I was spending more time getting blood transfusions and platelet transfusions than I was spending getting chemo. And the transfusions were staying with me for shorter and shorter times. I was starting to feel like a vampire whose only source of life support was the blood of other humans. And I signed up for home hospice care, which is by now fully implemented and operational. It's a relief actually.



My situation is quite tolerable, I have very little pain, mainly I'm just very anemic and weak, and very short of breath...especially if I stand up too quickly or walk across the room too fast. I'm sleeping a lot, maybe 12 to 14 hours a day, and if I'm lucky this trend will continue until I'm sleeping 18-24 hours, and then eventually I'll peacefully slip away in my sleep. I hope it goes like that. And even though I tend to think it will only be a week or two, the nurse who comes twice a week says she's had patients with the same Dx who have gone a year or more in hospice. So we'll see.:



He got his two weeks.



The music video I posted in the initial announcement thread I posted, had been posted by Peaches in this forum back in 2018 in the thread about desired funeral music....



this is a song he and I had chatted about, due to the Joy Divisions bass heavy sound. as a possible funeral song, he dug it, but was as much of a fan of theirs as I was, he was older than me, so there is that.

Thank you Admin for informing us about Peaches.

RIP Peaches. I read in Flea Trap he had been in failing health.

I didn't really know him but other posters seem to know him as a good guy.  I am confused over the name as a poster known as "Levon" kept getting called spoon/peaches over at BF but he always denied it was him.  Was it?

 Yeah, it was.

Peaches has passed away.

RIP Levon from the west coast.



At least he had a good innings and went comfortably. Being drugged up in bed and slipping away in a morphine haze is arguably the best way to go once your time is up.

I don't think he was from the West coast..



I'm glad he wasn't suffering near the end.

More like the central/eastern side of the US.

I called Peaches names, but I didn't dislike him.
