A slight stumble on the road.
13 years ago
So, a pretty serious note.
A few weeks ago I undertook surgery to remove a small lump that had formed in the soft tissue around the upper jaw/inner ear which was causing pain/ear problems. The surgery was a success and I was sent on my way, feeling like a bazillion bucks. The biopsy on the lump however caused some additional concern so I had to have additional tests. The preliminary tests have yielded positive that I have came out of remission, although it has been detected very early and will be treatable.
This information I have kept to myself, having told only immediate family and house mates because there was no point to raise alarm if the tests returned with nothing. The fandom certainly has it's share of attention seekers and I certainly don't wish to be one of them. I'm not here for a pity party nor am I here to beg for money. It does appear however that I have offended some of my friends by not being forthcoming with the information so that they may offer support. There is no possible way that I could get in contact with you all, so I am writing this journal. Please do not see my silence as anything more than not raising alarm on something which could not have been a big deal and giving myself some time to process my own emotions and thoughts. I appreciate your support and well wishes but please don't be offended if I am not inclined to talk about it.
Please remain calm and don't lose your shit and I will do the same, everything is going to be all right.

thanks for letting us all know mate, you a incredible guy
<Hugs tight>
If my favorite little dragon is not okay, I will lose my shit, lose my shit BIG TIME!
But, not at you.
Please look after yourself and keep me (and/or us) informed? And let me know if I can help.
Hope you're managing as well as possible, I can only imagine what the last few weeks have been like for you. I can understand entirely your wish to keep things to yourself for awhile.
I hope all will be ok.
Some people just keep such stuff under their belt, a personal choice, and there are pros and cons to each side.
