But through some extraordinary effort of the will he kept writing right until the end. Between his diagnosis and his death he wrote five Discworld novels alone.

Yeah, he was a workaholics workaholic. Before he got ill the publication of new Discworld novels averaged as more than one a year. It added a certain quirky cyclical rhythm to the book world that's going to be missed. I remember with particularly fondness the posters for Jingo.
