    You are a strong individual, you will come out of tis stronger than ever. I am really excited for the new book. I have to reread them to refresh my memory though. Good on you my friend.

      John Minckler thank you! I’m hearing that a lot...it reminds me of the night that the idea for the initial Post-Human novel hit me, and how exhilarating it was because I knew I finally had a story that people would really love. What a dream all these years later to hear so many people tell me they’re going to reread the whole series so that they get their full enjoyment out of Superhuman...wow 😊🙌😊 Thank you 🙏!!

    Being busy and focused is how I missed the first video, but I did watch this. Such a big shock, also because I have seen the impact of it close up with my father (who beat it, but with great loss of his vocal cords) and how it puts the mirror of mortality right in your face. I have faith in doctors and medicine, and seen some of the newest cancer medicine development up close, so for that we are all grateful and I hope we have you around for a long, long time, so we can journey along with you this path of wonder and excitement. Fingers crossed and wish you and Jenny strength of body and mind.

      Marco Casteleijn oh wow...I’m so glad he got better, sorry to hear about the damage to his vocal cords...the medicine and tech is getting better all the time...we all just gotta stick around a little longer! Thank you for the messages, Marco! I don’t think there are words to express how grateful I am. 😊🙏

    You got a little taste of the love your Tribe has for you and the devastation that would befall us should you leave this world before your time, or our perceived "your time". Can't wait for the next episode! So much love and light and hope and luck coming your way. You and Jenny deserve nothing but the best! ~Always on your side.

      Thank you, Jennifer! We’d be devastated if we didn’t have the tribe anymore...but we know that won’t happen! 🥰🤗🙏🙏🥂🥂🍀🍀 So much love headed your way from Jenny and me...always on your side too! 👍👍👍

    That word is scary and even the least worrisome of cancers is still cancer, right? But, I believe you have kicked it. You are doing things right with health, lifestyle, support system, and honestly you just don't have time for it. Kick its butt and send it on its way with the support of the medical community. I think I speak for many, if not all, when I say even for those of us who haven't met yo, we feel like we know you. That's because you and Jenny have opened up to us so much and shared who you are. We care. The collective energy of the tribe is sending loving and healing thoughts your way, today and always. The book: can't wait to read it. The movie: can't wait see it. You've got this. All of this.

      Linda Wallace , this is a beautiful and perfect message...I read it aloud to Jenny ❤️ Somehow, we feel like we know you and the tribe too...friend or even family isn’t a strong enough word. They haven’t invented that one yet, but whatever it is, that’s how we feel about you. 🙏🙏🙏 Forever grateful 🥰

    There is good in everything, and part of your good is finding out how much love and support you both have holding you up, both in getting this film distributed and in taking care of yourself. No one really knows what it's like to face such a serious health issue until you've been there, and no one knows what it is to be the caring spouse until you stand in those shoes; the journey is unique. Thank you for sharing yours with us, and here's hoping you'll be stronger for the sharing. ~gentle hugs~ Can't wait to see the next step in the journey.

    My mom didn't tell me about her cancer, I guess it might have made her seem "less than" in her or other's eyes.
    I'm glad you told us and it is a brave thing.
    But know we Love you David and we are praying for you.

      Robert Farrington , thank you! I can’t speak for your mom, but I have spoken to a handful of others who have experienced it now and there seem to be some universal ties...for example, I told Jenny right after I left the doctor’s office, we sat on a bench (it was a lovely summer day and our doctor’s office is right by the ocean) and we were both in shock. Pretty quickly, Jenny came apart, and I found myself saying positive things and reassuring her that day and night...I was so happy to do it, but I went to sleep wondering if I was dying. I still had to process everything, and it’s harder to do when you’re helping the other people you tell who get worried...and yes, absolutely, Jenny and I had a conversation about whether telling the tribe would make me seem like I’m just a guy with cancer and would take focus away from what bring us all together, which is the love of great stories! In the end, we opted for telling people after we’d dealt with it successfully...even still, the reaction to that video brought a lot of things back, but it was also such a beautiful thing. That day and the first day of the Kickstarter are days I’ll never forget...so much love from the tribe! Just wow 😳 🤩 🙏🙏🙏

      @@DavidSimpson thank you for the insight. I hadn't thought of it through that perspective. But I see your point and I can understand now where you are coming from.
      Lots of love.
