I know I’ve been quiet on here for a while.
Long story short, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I recently finished chemotherapy and started radiation.
The prognosis is really good, but as I’m sure you can imagine it’s been a slog.

The type of tumor I have is really treatable but that treatment entails chemo and radiation.
It’s responded really well so far - which is great news - but I’m not out of the woods yet. I appreciate any and all prayers if you can spare them.

I’m hoping to be back in action soon, if all goes well with treatment.
For those who have thought that I’m being throttled or shadow banned, I promise, I just haven’t been tweeting (or writing or talking) very much as I go through this.

In all I’ve been really, really fortunate. My girlfriend has been my rock throughout all this. I’ve got a great support system - especially my family - which has been an enormous blessing throughout this.
I couldn’t have made it this far without them.

Also, I can’t overstate how great @FreeBeacon has been throughout this process. They’ve been incredibly supportive and patient. I can’t thank them enough for that.
But not everyone is as lucky as I’ve been. If you’re looking to help, there are some great orgs serving those in need.

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about all this, but for now I’m sorry for all the missed DMs, and please know that, all things considered, I’m doing well.
They tell me the hair (and facial hair) will come back. Fingers crossed.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and offered their prayers and well wishes. It means so much to me. I couldn’t have anticipated the outpouring of support I’ve gotten and it’s really meant the world to me.
Good news to share.
