Surviving my diagnosis (stage 4, I will die but not right now) was only because of my spouse and kids. I have a crystal clear memory of deciding I simply wasn’t going anywhere, because I can’t. My girls are six and two. I still spend most of my days fighting to be right here, right now, because it’s all I have.
The thing is it’s all any of us have. A terminal diagnosis is not death itself, my spouse could walk out the door and die today. It’s having that denial slapped out of your hands. Having to figure out how to breathe when all you can think about is what those last breaths could be like. Now I know every single day truly is valuable, every day I’m with them is one more they can hold onto when i’m gone.
I’m really glad she found the same sanctuary. Cancer is terrifying.

I hope you’re doing okay. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December and holy f***. It’s changed my perspective on a lot of things, but it’s such an emotional rollercoaster.

I met Olivia Munn when I was at E3 one year assisting with a stage presentation. This was when G4/TechTV was at its height. Absolutely delightful woman. I’m glad she’s healing.

I hope John is doing well with his sobriety. He looked like a crackhead at the US Open last year.

Yeah, I saw him during his 2024 tour when he came through Norfolk, Virginia. While entertaining, he was not ‘relaxed’. I distinctly recall his fingers being flexed straight out while he came out on stage.
