Hi everyone,
It’s Paul, and I wanted to give you all an update. I recently saw my doctor after surgery, and he assured me that they successfully removed the cancer from my left kidney. The margins around it are also clear, which means I won’t need any further treatment like chemotherapy or radiation—great news! While the chances of recurrence aren’t zero, they’re very unlikely.
I’m healing well, though I need to avoid lifting anything over ten pounds for the next six weeks and avoid heavy exertion.
I also want to express my deepest gratitude for the overwhelming love and support you’ve shown—through messages, cards, gifts, and donations. It has truly meant the world to me and has been a huge part of my healing process. I love and appreciate you all so much.
I’m looking forward to getting back to posting on Burning the Ground soon! At first, posts may be a bit limited as I ease back into things, but I’m excited to return.
I appreciate your patience, and I’ll see you all soon.
—Paul
best wishes with your recovery!, just made a donation, have a few cold ones, or hot coffees, when you’re ready on me, thanks again for all your work!
Hiya – thanks for this, though i think there’s a mistake on the Madonna element. The 1985 12″ of Into The Groove is 4.40 just like the 7″ single – did you mean Material Girl or Virgin perhaps?
Desde Argentina te mando mucha fuerza tanto mental como espiritual.. yo anduve por la misma y se que es costoso y agotador.. hay que ir paso a paso y tranquilo que ya tendrás el tiempo para seguir con lo tuyo.. Un gran abrazo y que Dios te colme de bendiciones..
Big love from the UK. Recover well.
Good that you are recovering well … and that it remains so, greetings from Viña del Mar, Chile
Good Luck and Good Health Paul.
Bless! I had Colon Cancer a couple of years back. Glad you’re ok!
see you !
Hi Paul, glad you are on the mend. Get well soon!
I’m glad you are on the road to recovery. Take your time & be well. I had a cancer scare over 15 years ago so I can empathise with you. It’s also a mental battle so let the healing power of music help you!!
Get well soon! Thanks again for your efforts to keep this music alive.
Thoughts and Prayers for a speedy recovery. I recall years ago you had some health crisis (been following you forever!)
Good recovery Paul, take your time!
I’m happy for you!
From Brazil. I am very happy for you.
