There is an article at the Locus online site, as well as on Jordan's blog:
Here is a link to Jordan's letter to Locus:

www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/?p=38 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.
