I want to wish everyone a very happy 2013.  This past year has been so full of either estactic happiness or bone-deep sadness, according to how the stage 4 cancer turned out in the many catscans I have had in 2012.  I want to thank each and everyone of you, people I have come to know through their art and through dA, many sharing the same interests as me and have been there for me in comments to help me through what has been a very trying time.

The cancer tumor has grown to 7 centimeters. Others with the same kind usually have 4 maybe 5 years of life expectancy.  I was diagnosed in Feb 2010.  I do not believe I have an expiration date anywhere on me and I am trying every chemo drug my oncologist asks me to try to extend my life.  I WANT to live!  I want to write and draw and BE here so I can see everyone's wonderful works of art and read your journal entries and fave your art.  That is what drives me as well as my wish to finish the Swagger Vasa Chronicles books. Two have been published on amazon.com and the third is being edited and I have written 273 pages on Book 4.  Wish me luck that they get done before anything happens that might keep me from finishing what I consider to be my legacy.

So, to all of you, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's an exciting opening to 2013 and I hope the new drug will show your cancer the door. I know you've felt put off by the many doctor visits but I suppose you have to put yourself in that place in order to reach your happier place. The happier place being is that you refuse to believe you have an expiry on yourself. You're willing to try anything to stay with us. Trust me that means something to me, to all of us. Your side effects don't sound pleasant but you've shown incredible endurance towards your treatment. Your willingness is inspiring.

I'm no superhero but sometimes I wish I had the ability to save people.
