"Dear Readers and Friends, Family and Tribe,

I've got bad news and wonderful news.

The bad news is that I've been diagnosed with lung cancer.

The wonderful news is that the docs found it by accident, and the tumor (singular) is very very early in it's development. The cancer is deeply embedded in the upper lobe of my right lung."

I left a comment on her blog. She is one of my favorite authors and role models. I hope her toughness and bright spirit carries her through this challenge as well.

One of my favourites too.  Hopefully they can get rid of it.

Sending healing thoughts to Kate Bornstein! Gender Outlaw was influential in my own journey toward awareness of myself.
