Some people already knew Isaac had cancer (I made a post about it a few months ago), but, I wanted to post what I just read on The Wild Hunt (http://wildhunt.org/blog/).
From here (http://wildhunt.org/blog/2010/05/updates-isaac-bonewits-the-stolen-secular-cross-and-the-maetreum-of-cybele.html):
Isaac Bonewits’ Battle With Cancer: There has been some not-so-encouraging news in the saga of Pagan author and theologian Isaac Bonewits’ battle with cancer. It seems the rare form of colon cancer he was diagnosed with has not been responding to the rounds of chemo he’s been undergoing, and the prognosis from doctors has been grim.
“A very stressful day for both of us. Isaac’s very weak from last week’s chemo, so he is back in the hospital for a few days. A very frank talk with his oncologist was not encouraging. In short, the best they can do is control his disease. He will not get well. If he cannot tolerate chemo at levels that control the tumors, there is nothing else they can do.”
At this point doctors say that nothing short of a miracle would help, so Phaedra Bonewits is calling for everyone to “kick the magic into gear” and make that miracle happen. As someone who has family living with cancer, I can understand the pain and heartbreak involved, and I wish healing and strength to Isaac and Phaedra in this trying time. I’m sure that in addition to your prayers and invocations, a donation towards their climbing medical costs wouldn’t hurt either. For up-to-date news and information, you can follow their Facebook fan-page.
I understand the pain of cancer too, as my Dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer (it's not as serious as Isaac and others have it, though), and I truly wish all the best to Isaac and his family, as well as his friends.
I hope he does pull through. Anyway, I just wanted to let people know here, and, if anyone wants to do any serious magic at all, or prayers, you definitely should, I'm sure Isaac would appreciate it.
BTW, sorry if this should be in the Energy Request forum, I just thought it might be better in Just Pagan, but, please feel free to move it.
