He has already tactfully suggested that he would prefer people not to do
that, unless they happen to be high powered brain specialist capable of
helping. I think that, while not going so far as to pretend it isn't
happening (he is far too level headed for that), he would rather it was
not mentioned except at such times and places as *he* has chosen to
discuss it - sych as the Today program. He knows very well that he has a
lot of very convinced fans, whose sympathy he can take for granted.
Individual messages fluttering in by various paths simply rub his nose
in an unpleasant truth that he would prefer out of sight at times other
than his own choosing.

Jesus that hurt to listen to, he sounds well though. Thank you for posting
the link.

Terry Pratchett is one of those rare people who has made the world a better
place by being in it. I try to send him positive thoughts and well wishes
every day. If there is a great big cosmic consciousness and karma does
count for something, maybe the thousands of good thoughts he receives will
somehow be a help to him. He's put a lot of positive into our world, he
surely can have some back.

I'm in total agreement.
