mabutiman 1,571 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Re-post From Living in Cambodia Some sad news about Paul. This was on Battambang Connect. After a short period of suffering from recurrent abdominal pain Paul went in for some medical tests/diagnosis. The final diagnosis is pancreatic cancer, stage 4 and terminal. Original estimate of 6 months to a year has proved to be incorrect. 4 days ago he became unresponsive and we got him to the hospital. An IV and blood transfusions got him stable enough to transport him back to their home on the farm so he can be in a place he dearly loves. . He will stay there till he passes away being cared for by Chan and her family . Now he survival time is estimated to be about 7 - 10 days. Paul and Chan wish's are for a proper Buddhist ceremony and cremation. Followed by appropriate Buddhist rituals. To be announced here at appropriate times as the situation develops. The farm is about 30K from Battambang and Pauls current condition really precludes visitors, 2 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post softail 1,835 Posted November 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2018 I want to thank Paul for starting this forum. Without this forum I would be completely lost in my Philippines adventure. There is no way that I would have anyway to set up my move this spring. Did Paul have his rough edges, yea he did, but I think his positive traits offset many of his shortcomings. Thanks Paul 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites

yingy52 215 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Any special reason that Paul's situation is not being discussed? Most people including me know pretty much everything that went down. I joined LINP when Don H. started it. That was before I moved here in 2002. We know so why try to keep it confidential? Paul had his ups and downs. Just like all of us. Edited November 7, 2018 by yingy52 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
