Author Jay Lake recently announced that he has cancer. Specifically, early stage Tubulovillous adenocarcinoma with suspected lymphatic involvement, or, in easier terms, a cancerous polyp in the colon.
He’s writing about his ongoing treatment, asking for humorous descriptions thereof, and posting videos of stretcher rides (through an incredibly long pedestrian bridge in the hospital) on his blog, and his infectious upbeat attitude seems to shine through it all.
SFScope sends our best wishes for his continuing recovery and, dare we say it, rehabilitation.
