Surgery is set for January 11! I’m crossing my fingers that they just need to replace my bile duct and don’t have to go into the pancreas at all. Thank you all for the support. I hope to be with you all for a long time to come. We live in an age of miracle and wonder.

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I’ve been meeting with doctors this week. Surgery to remove the cancer will be following in short order. Likely later this month. I’m usually take a two-week hiatus at the end of the year. I’ll be doing that again. I want to get to the end of this scene which is four pages away. So the last update this year is Dec. 21. I’ll pick back up Jan. 9, after the 12 Days of Christmas are over.

December 5th, 2016Cienan wants to stay on schedule. You can see Mathilde’s reaction to the proposed agenda when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I have some other news and it’s both dreadful and incredible at the same time. Last week I was diagnosed with stage 1 bile duct cancer. I am incredibly fortunate that they caught it so early. This means I have a very good chance of surviving. Normally, this cancer is deadly because they don’t catch it until stage 3 or 4. It’s like winning the worst lottery I can imagine. As a PhD friend of mine said, I’m one lucky son of a bitch.
I will be having surgery later this month and then several rounds of chemo next year. If all goes well, the doctors will be able to remove the cancer entirely and the chemo will catch anything floating in my system. I intend to keep writing the scripts for Snow by Night and making Julie and Steph do all the heavily lifting.
The story is done, so if things go down hill in a hurry I’ll just post the summary of what is to come. However, that shouldn’t be necessary. I’m hopeful that the surgery will be successful.

Steph and I are back from Indigenous ComicCon. What a great show! About 1,000 people attended, which is pretty good for a first-year con. Things went very smoothly. Lee Francis did an amazing job organizing it. I wanted to go to ALL the panels. They were that good. One of my favorite was run by Jonathan Joss, who is the voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill and plays Ken Hotate on Parks & Rec. I’m looking forward to going back next year!
On a humorous side note, the cramp in my calf muscle was so bad that TSA picked it up on their scanner and had to pat down my leg every time I went through security. One of them even commented, “Man, that’s a serious cramp.” It’s doing much better today. It’s almost gone. Just a bit more stretching.
