[转]兰迪.波许的最后讲座:真正实现你童年的梦想(中英文对照)21
So today's talk was about my childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others, and some lessons learned. But did you figure out the head fake? It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you. Have you figured out the second head fake? The talk's not for you, it's for my kids. Thank you all, good night.
所以，今天谈的是我童年的梦想，让别人实现梦想，以及一些教训。但是你们看透了其中的障眼法吗？这不是关于如何实现你们的梦想。它的关于如何引领你的生活。如果你正确引领你的生活，因缘自有报应。梦想会成真。你们看清楚了第二个障眼法吗？这讲座不是为你们，它是为了我的孩子。谢谢大家，晚安。

兰迪的病情简报
Late in the summer of 2006, I started having some unusual symptoms, culminating with jaudice. Scans revealed it was pancreatic cancer. At this time, my wife Jai and I had a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a three month old baby.
2006年夏末, 我开始有一些异常的症状, 最后出现了黄疸。扫描发现是胰腺癌。那时, 我的妻子洁和我的三个孩子分别是4 岁、2 岁, 和三个月大。
Pancreatic cancer is the most deadly of cancers, with only a 4% 5-year survival rate. The only hope is to be one of the 20% of patients (which I was) where surgery is possible. I had a Whipple surgery on Sept 19th, 2006; Dr. Herbert Zeh removed the (4.5cm) tumor, my gallbladder, 1/3rd of my pancreas, 1/3rd of my stomach, and several feet of my small intestine. I was in the hospital 11 days. Even with a successful Whipple surgery, only 15% of pancreatic cancer patients make it to 5 years, and there is no concensus about which chemotherapy and/or radiation after surgery helps. I found the Virginia Mason protocol, where early trials were claiming to get 45% of people to 5 years. However, it was an extremely toxic combination of chemotherapy and daily radiation: a nation-wide trial was shut down because several patients died from the treatment. There were two centers still offering the treatment: Virginia Mason in Seattle, and MD Anderson in Houston, and I was able to quality for the treatment in Houston. This happened in a whirlwind: the treatment needed to start within 6-8 weeks of the surgery. And Jai & I needed to figure out how to have somebody stay with me full time, and also take care of our 3 kids.
胰腺癌症是最致命的癌症, 5年生存率仅4%。唯一有希望的是那些20%可手术治疗的患者(我是其中之一)。我在2006年9月19日接受了胰十二指肠切除术 (Whipple);赫伯特.泽医生切除了我的肿瘤 (4.5cm),胆囊, 1/3的胰腺, 1/3的的胃, 和几英尺的小肠。我在医院住了 11 天。即使在成功的Whipple手术后, 只有15%的胰腺癌患者存活5年, 而对于术后的化疗和/或放疗方案,医界也无共识。我找到维吉尼亚梅森方案, 初期临床试验提高5年生存率到45%。但是, 这是毒性很大的化疗和每日放疗的组合。因为有几名患者死于该治疗, 全国性的临床试验被终止了。有二个中心仍提供该疗法: 西雅图的维吉尼亚梅森医疗中心, 和在休斯敦的德州大学安德生癌症中心, 而我有资格在休斯敦接受治疗。说时迟,那时快: 治疗需在手术后6-8周内开始。洁和我需要想办法既能照顾我们的3个小孩, 有要有人全时陪护我。
