Dear friends and watchers,

       It is now official: my cancer is gone without a trace!

       My last MRI was all clear, and my oncologist gave me the green light to stop chemotherapy. With some luck, this is the end of the story. Of course, some follow-up MRIs will be taken in the future to ensure it's not coming back. The first one will be in December.

       This is great news in terms of my health of course, but also in terms of art. You see, the chemo made me constantly super tired this past half year. I wanted to start painting again during the summer break from work, but I was so exhausted and weak that I couldn't do anything. Imagine having sleep deprivation 24/7. But now that the chemo is over, in the next 2-3 months this should finally go away, and then I'll be able to focus on art again!

       Another issue has also been resolved. I haven't mentioned it yet but a couple of months ago my mother got fired from her job of 30 years thanks to one of our coworkers filing a complaint directly with the directors with false claims and twisted facts. This has been very hard on her, and me too. But finally, she has financial stability again, and this has taken a load of worries off my mind.

       So, where to from here? For the moment I'm just focusing on recovering and improving my general health, and once the constant exhaustion starts to go away I'll be diving back into art. Until then, hang tight. :)

       Finally, once again, I wish to thank you all for all the support, encouragement, and patience over these past few troubled years. And I promise you, once I'm back to painting in full swing it will be worth the wait. :)

       Take care and stay wild!
