Hey yall, thank you for your patience and incredible support while I heal and get as much info as I can about my health. The good news is that the surgery was successful and my symptoms have been relieved. The bad news is that some of my lymph nodes that were removed during surgery tested positive for cancer cells. That means I need more treatment than we had hoped for post-surgery. So the plan now is that Ill be undergoing 6 months of chemo treatment for stage 3 colon cancer, starting in the next few weeks.-There are manys reason to be optimistic. My doctors say that post-surgery there is a 70% chance I wouldnt have a reoccurrence of cancer, without the chemo. With the chemo, that number goes up to 90%. In cancer terms, thats pretty great news! We want to be aggressive here and try to hit this hard. That last 10% can be monitored with regular tests and scans. Im lucky to have access to great doctors, and they have a plan to keep me around for a long time.-Ill be receiving chemo treatment every two weeks, for six months. This will unfortunately make touring logistically impossible, not to mention that travel and exposure to large groups of people will be risky due to my compromised immune system. That means that I have to cancel all of my shows for now and keep my calendar cleared through late July. During this time home, Ill be focusing on my health and staying creative. Hopefully, that means new art to share with you eventually.
