While I have criticized some of the man's writing in the past, I wouldn't wish something like this on the worst person in the world, much less someone who has given so much pleasure to other people over the years, and who has created so many fantasy fans through his Wheel of Time series.

From what I understand, the treatment for this condition is horrifyingly painful, involving high doses of chemotherapy to kill off your bone marrow, with transplants of healthy marrow to hopefully begin to produce healthy blood cells.

From what I also understand, the prognosis is usually not very good.

God's blessings for health and healing to Robert Jordan, and to his family.

Well, whatever else you want to say about Robert Jordan, the man is a fighter. The odds were very long against him, but he has been beating them back!

The latest news is very good news!

That's good. But I thought the wait for the last books was long...

The latest update on Robert Jordan (as of 6/1/07):



Damn, the man is a fighter! And I hope he does beat the odds and works his way up to bench pressing 100 pounds again!

It sounds like he is working his butt off to get that last book finished...

He better be! No way did I invest that much in an unfinished series. :lo:
