Cancer update: It's bad.

Added 2019-01-18 21:27:57 +0000 UTC

I have a rare mutation that's caused this leukemia, and it's one that makes it a lot more deadly than usual. All they can do now is hit it as hard as they can with everything they got, and hope like hell they find a good bone marrow donor match. This mutation is lethal 100% of the time unless entirely wiped out with radiation and replaced with a donor's cells, which is fun.

The intense treatment is the kind that might just kill me outright, so that's fun too. Naturally, I'm starting to make plans for what happens if I fall to the mortality statistics. The main plan is that, upon my death, Anna immediately enters the public domain, and becomes a community owned character. I highly doubt people will keep writing and drawing her forever, but I hope it goes on for a few months after my death. That's my wish.

I really hope I'll be able to survive this, but even if I do, the future becomes painfully bleak. A bone marrow transplant puts my lifespan in the toilet, and my quality of life is probably going to take a sharp turn. That's not even accounting for the chance of relapse.

Thank you for your support, everyone.
