Coughing up blood sounds really scary, and losing your sense of taste is really shitty. Hang tough, Marc.

Love and best wishes, Edward

Hi all,

Thanks for all your nice messages regarding my news about catching cancer. It's a shame because I had some great things I wanted to do, but they'll need to wait now.

If you wish to send a get well card, ask in a private email for my address I'll give it to you.

However, I really don't need anything bigger than that, I'm being well looked after already. Also, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with all the correspondence. Also, every day is getting more intense with the illness, and more frequent visits to the hospital take it out of me. I get more tired each day as other strange things occur, such as coughing up blood, losing balance, falling asleep, and losing one's taste. That's just the start.

A big warm thanks to all of you for caring.

Wishing you well.

    Dear friends and associates on Netbehaviour,

    Last Wednesday I was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer in the form of
    lesions around the neck, ear and throat - on the right side of my
    head. The hospital crew dealing with my cancer say it's curable
    but they need to begin the process immediately. It will involve an
    intense three months. They will use radiotherapy and chemotherapy
    on me. It's going to be really rough, already horrible things have
    happened. It will take about three weeks to set it all up, and
    then visiting the hospital every day for six weeks with
    radiotherapy and chemotherapy, ugh!

    I am officially on sick leave for the next three months regarding
    Furtherfield matters, but I will pop up (hopefully) every now and
    then with certain projects that are underway - especially the new
    book which is out very soon, called 'Frankenstein Reanimated: Art
    & Life in the 21st Century. Edited by Marc Garrett and Yiannis
    Colakides', to be published on Torque.

    Rather than telling everyone individually, it felt easier to
    mention it here. A warm thanks for the love already that people
    have expressed in my direction.

    Apologies if I do not respond to questions - I'm sure you'll
    appreciate that I'll likely be too unwell to interact.

    Wishing you well.

    Marc
