Update on Father's Condition
Hello everyone. I'm sorry for the lax updates lately. I know it seems like the only time I ever write in this news box is when I don't have a comic up, and this is the case off and on for the last two weeks as well. I thought I'd update you on the condition of my father, in case you are interested.
My father is not doing well at the moment. He has non-small cell carcinoma. It's a form of lung cancer. It is stage 3, possibly even stage 4, and it's spread to his upper spine. Unfortunately, there is probably not much that can be done to get rid of it, however there are treatments available to slow it down and stop it for a time. My father is currently going through cemotherapy and other radiation treatments. We all hope that these treatments will take away some of the pain he is currently experiencing.
My father has asked that I tell you all that he appreciates all your kind words of support. We are all very thankful for all the words of kindness, prayers, and well-wishes. This is a hard time on everyone in my family, but thanks to all of you, and the support of everyone around us, it's been a little easier. Twokinds may consequency not be faithfully update, as I have decided to put more of my freetime into being with my father and the rest of my family. I hope you understand, and thank you once again.
I'm so sorry Tom. Please spend time with your family, the comic comes second. Your personal life comes first. I'm sending lots of warm, happy thoughts to you and your family.
Thanks for the update.
