“An Important Update from Burning The Ground”

Dear Burning The Ground Readers,

I wanted to take a moment to share some personal news with you. If you’ve noticed a slowdown in activity on the blog recently, it’s because life has thrown me an unexpected challenge.

Last month, after visiting my doctor and undergoing several tests—including an MRI and ultrasound—I was diagnosed with cancer in my left kidney. While this news has understandably been a lot to process, there is some relief in knowing that the cancer was caught early. My doctor is optimistic, and this early detection provides a positive outlook for my treatment and recovery.

On Monday, January 20, I will be undergoing a robotic partial nephrectomy to remove the cancer. This procedure is a step toward a healthier future. After the surgery, I’ll need about 4–6 weeks to recover fully. During this period, I won’t be able to update the blog, but I’ve asked my partner, Jeremy, to keep you updated on how the surgery goes and to share any relevant news.

Your support, patience, and understanding mean the world to me during this time. Burning The Ground has always been more than just a blog to me—it’s a community, and I’m deeply grateful to have you all as part of it.

Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I’ll be back as soon as I’m able, ready to dive back into celebrating the music we all love.

Love & Light,
Paul
