I hope too to accomplish at least two concrete ends:

1. Help and educate other people who are suddenly facing the opaque clinical-trial system: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...

2. Ultimately, reform and speed FDA approval for fatal diseases like recurrent / metastatic head and neck cancers: https://jakeseliger.com/2024/01/29/the-dead-and-dying-at-the.... A drug like petosemtamab (MCLA-158), which I was on from Sept. 27 2023 to March 29 2024, should already be approved, instead of continuing to wander around in clinical trials.

Hacker News, thank you for all the links and all the great reading. Now I have to say goodbye.

I’m with my wife Bess (https://bessstillman.substack.com/) and my brother Sam, and crying, but it is okay. At the end of Lord of the Rings Gandalf says to the hobbits, "Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.” And that is how I feel now. Ending prematurely hurts, but all things must end, and my time to end is upon me.

I'm dying of cancer and hope my wife finds love again: https://jakeseliger.com/2023/08/30/turning-two-lives-into-on...

Meanwhile, metros like Austin permit lots of housing to be constructed, and you won't believe what happens next! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/03/austin-tex...
