A pulmonologist talks about his own end-stage cancer:
In a few hours, Edwards was to give a talk about hospice care to a church group in Newberg. He drove there, but he didn’t talk about hospice.
“I’m dying, and I just fully realized it this afternoon,” is how he remembers starting his talk. Some in the audience wept.
“All my life, I’ve been looking for teachable moments,” Edwards says. “I love to teach. Why quit now?”
