This evening I spoke with Anne Gorman; she had just returned from Inverness where our boy is incarcerated.  The round trip from her house in Skye to Inverness by bus is 350 miles; a journey that she makes twice per week.  The news of Tony is good and not so good.  The good part is that his spinal tumor situation was overplayed by the doctors and, in fact, it is slow-growing, and the “weeks to live” diagnosis has been revised to indefinite.  The not-so-good news is that the medication that he has taken has affected his mind and he suffers fits of depression and aggression and as a result he is confined to a hospital in Inverness for his own safety and that of others.  The prognosis about his mental problem is not good, but then neither was the one of his spinal cancer and that has been revised.  Let us hope that the British National Health system that has kept Stephen Hawking alive until now can turn up trumps for Tony.  When I spoke to him in late March he gave me carte blanche to inform the world of his conditions, and so I do this knowing that his friends want to hear of his progress. After my earlier Tony posting Bruce Craig sent me a photo of the Manchester University Chemistry 5-a-side football team who, in about 1970, had won the inter-university cup.  I share this with you, with thanks to Bruce.  Tony is on the extreme right.
