Hoppy said: The horror He doesn't have long to live and it's a shame, why do the good ones have to die of the worse things. Can't they all just die peacefully from old age in their sleep or from heart disease and/or stroke. He might make it through this. He's well enough for the surgery now and that's his ticket to wellness if it's successful. Cancer's a terrible illness but it's not an immediate ticket to death. Well some cancers are but they wouldn't be giving him surgery if it wasn't treatable. My dad's a cancer survivor. It's not the easiest thing to go through and just like Yamaguchi he had no idea if he was gonna survive but he lucked out and the surgery only cost him a single bone in his arm and some pretty severe scarring, which all things considered has never been a complaint. It's cool that he's got hope to finish his story. That's amazing actually. A very lucky man in that sense. Even still I would imagine he doesn't want it to end here. He either has more to write or he has plans to spend the rest of his life in early retirement with his family or wants to start a business or who even knows? The sky is the limit if he pulls through this, so all that's left is to roll the dice. |

The problem is the dice metaphorically speaking, they haven't been rolling in a novelist's favor, it's like death at every corner. It hasn't been very long since MM!'s author died of unknown circumstances. I hope he does recover and maybe retire (cancer takes a toll in all aspects of the human being), but the odds are something to be concerned about. |

Eh, the odds still aren't in his favor. Wrapping up his shit would be a good move, but a hypothetical ten percent chance of survival is still better than nothing. It helps to know what we're talking about. A mystery illness that he's not sure he'll survive the surgery for is one thing. A known illness where the surgery is most likely intended to save his life in one fell swoop is another. For one thing we know that if the surgery works and takes there'll be wellness on the other side of the tunnel now, so that's a bit of a gamechanger. Also sometimes helps to share that story. Cancer is often treated as a guaranteed death. It often is guaranteed death, and when it's not it's frequently pretty close to that. Still, if it all works out in your favor then you've got your entire life ahead of you. My dad got cured and then proceeded to witness the birth of his first child and then spawn an entire family. Getting diagnosed a handful of months after marriage while his wife had a bun in the oven was rough but here we are. I know the story's helped a lot of the people we've seen get cancer and their families since. Though of course their own stories haven't all ended quite so well. The fact that what has thus far been his life's work is so close to completion that he may be able to finish before the surgery is also a gamechanger. That's a race against the clock if ever I've heard of one but God Speed to him. In the likely scenario that this doesn't work out I'm sure that'll provide a certain level of peace that at least that part of his life has been successfully taken to completion. There's always so much more to do, but we don't all have the luxury of knowing we've secured our legacy, left our mark on the world, and achieved some our greatest ambitions. The money quite likely means that his family won't be left in need, so his regrets will probably be limited to things like not seeing his kids grow up, as opposed to many who spend their last days worrying about how the family will feed themselves without them. I can't imagine he's got a fortune or anything, but the royalties should afford a comfortable life. Nice when your work can continue to take care of your loved ones after you're gone. Overall this sounds like a remarkably peaceful death on the relative scale of lives ended far before their time. A life well lived. |
| I like how all of Gangler's comments are long winded. I mean why can't people just write simple "get well" stuff for this guy. I mean really, don't just comment on what other people say with some extremely long statement. It is unnecessary! And not only that but you are acting smart by using unreasonably humongous words to get an immensely simple statement into fellow homo-sapiens' understandably miniscule cerebrum! |

| Little stroll? Well that's something at least. |
| I'm glad the surgery was finished with no problems, now the recovery begins and I hope it's successful. |
