TOMITA, Tetsuo

My dears
Today, I returned from hospital. The treatment by midicine entered to the fourth week.
I entered to hospital 25 Aug. for inspection and from 9 Sept. for inspection and first step of treatment. Hospitalization was 40 days.
I have a stomac cancer and entered to National International Medical Center. According to the inspection by Positron Emission Tomography, treatment by medicine is effective. A cycle of five week for medicine will repeat and finally a surgery to eliminate the cancer part of stomac might be done.
Thank you vwery much for your heartfelt mails of encouragement. An African scholar taught me a mashroom for cancer and an Indonesian researcher staying in Bangkok send me the letter "I will fire dupa for your health in (Budhistic) temple here in Bangkok". I felt the protections by the god of christianity, Allah, Buddha, and Japanese gods and goddesses. Of cause, my work try to help peaple of all gods. I feel very happy.
At the beginning, my cancer was stage 4, 10% existing-ratio after 5 years (this judgement is correct), I brought a note-PC and began to summerize a book entitled "On Development Technology-Conditions of accepting technology and cultivation of commercial goods in developing countries-" and wrote about 20,000 words. In the next year, I will renew the data and add the analysis of Poland and central Europe, and maybe India and Africa, then publish a book. Sasakawa Peace Foundation will support my work.
This hospital (I found afterword) treated the crews of Fukuryu-maru No.5 in 1954. I met the H-Bombe expeliment int Eniuetoku Island just after my change of faculty of Engineering to Physics was permited. The condemn of responsibility of the researchers of physics became very large. Then, I made up my mind to see physics from outside and to research the history of science. I felt some large fate to this hospital. They will support my life until my work finishes.
During I was in hospital, I read through Koran. I have read New Testament but not Old Testament.
2 October, I visited the Festival of Intgernational Collaboration Festival in Hibiya park. The volume 1 of Iwanami edition of the translation of Johann Beckmann's work had the 3rd additonal print.
13 Oct. a girl was born. My wife and I became grand parents.
My attendance to Sino-Japanese congress of history of mechanical engineering at Beijing from 2 Nov. is canceled and my speech will be read by other member. My paper may be interested by Chinese members.
Please send me mails. I will write reply. My schedule will change by the result of inspections. When my hospitalization is scheduled long, I will inform you.
Thank you for your heartefelt mails again.
