Spike – you have been very brave to weather through ovarian cancer. My mum was diagnozed with stage 4 ovarian cancer last December. It is a shock to all of us as my father had just past away from advanced throat cancer 9 months before my mum’s own diagnosis. She went through the surgery and chemotherapy really well and is now in remission. While the physical wound is healed, the spiritual wound is harder to heal. She has lapsed into a deep depression and I am trying to cheer her up with inspiring stories of fighters against the disease.

Looks like you have a challenging journey ahead. You obviously have many people who care deeply about you and that, to me, is a huge part of getting well. You don’t know me, but let me say that my thoughts are with you in your fight. Beat the bastard down and don’t give a fucking inch! All the best.

I think the Spikester is an amazing guy, bald or not. Writing about the experience of illness is so brave and healing and hard and wonderful and scary. The Wounded Storyteller by Arthur Frank is a good (kind of academic) book about that. Ya see I did a little research about this being ill and living to tell the tale thing. It is one of the best things you can do for yourself. If you want community, unfortunately I have 3 other friends undergoing chemo as we speak. I think you all might be able to help each other since you (and your phenomenal supportive partners) can talk about the hard stuff in ways only people who have been there can. Happy to pass on contact info if you’d like.

You have a fan Pimp Daddy pig boy waving pompoms and doing cheers for you in DC…All my love to both of you.

You know, I think the girlies will be oogling you even if you are a bald space creature.

Some of us *like* bald space creatures. (Some of us *are* bald space creatures…)

Spike-
I found your blog on a friend’s live journal.
Inner strength is always better than muscles anyway….you’re the hulkster!
take care, and meet the monster with a fist. He’ll back off if he knows what’s good for him.
