A Note from the Butcher of Sacred Cow Burgers [Prayer Request]
E-Mail Notice | 06/07/2004 | Sacred Cow Burgers

Posted on 06/07/2004 4:40:05 PM PDT by Prime Choice

Hello folks,

This isn't a notification of a new parody, but I felt this was a necessary note to send all the same. The long and short of it is this: I will be unavailable over the coming weeks and figured I should let you folks know why.

A little over eight weeks ago I was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer; a type that affects only 3 people in 1 million. This type of cancer does not respond to chemotherapy, so the only treatment is surgery.

I will be hospitalized starting June 10th to have the largest (and hopefully *only*) tumor removed. Due to the location of the tumor, the doctors are pretty much going to have to open me up like a raw fish.

Understandably, I will be out of action for some time afterward. According to my surgeon, recovery will take six weeks at minimum. But -- with luck and the Good Lord's patient help -- I may be back at making merry sooner than anyone can guess.

I'd like to take this time to thank all of you for your interest in my work and the critiques, compliments and suggestions that many of you have sent my way over these past months. It's your enthusiasm that keeps me jazzed about doing political parody every chance I get. Your candor is a gift that I value greatly.

Best wishes to you all. I'll be back in touch once I'm able. Until then, I'll be fighting the good fight...just on a smaller scale.

Sincerely,

Jay D. Dyson

My friend survived a virulent, rare form of pancreatic cancer! He's been fine for a couple of years now.

Love your work and will be praying and waiting for more.

Prayers sent.

One time, when I was down from being in the hospital for weeks, with more hoses poking out of me than a V-8 motor, a nurse made the suggestion to me to visit the kids floor.

It helped greatly.

They can't endoscopically get it out? What a bummer.
