I have been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.

I've enjoyed being here for the past 13+ years.

Hug your family. Hug your pets. Fight the good fight and make good trouble.

I am sorry that I will not be here to help.

Good luck to you all.

Updating this thread just to let everyone know that I am absolutely floored by all the well wishes and encouragement coming from you guys. I WILL post the good and the bad over the next few (or perhaps several) days. Fingers crossed!
