Vince Flynn, author of the popular Mitch Rapp series, announced today via his emailed fan newsletter that he has Stage III metastatic prostate cancer.

Hope he can get all those sophisticated treatments ASAP.
Get well soon before Obamacare takes over.

I’ll wager that he’s in good hands at the Mayo Clinic...

Prayers up!

I enjoyed his novels, they were about “beautiful people” who also believe in God. Rare and page-turners.

Have the Russkies or the Muzzies been anywhere need his food supply lately?

This guy writes books that I devour in mere hours.

I'm serious, his stuff is great.

I am very distressed to learn of this news.

I meant “near” not “need.” Some spell check FR.

One of my closest friends is dying from Stage 4 Carcinosarcoma...I’d appreciate everyone praying for her and having a look at her foundation. 37 years old, married with 2 kids and 5 rounds of chemo and the tumors are still popping up..

Thanks for thinking of me...I’ve had a couple of his books on hold at the library for like a month now...good gauge of where the common folks’ thoughts are...CNN’s polls are bunk.
