 Here are words from Chickenhead on the situation- Chckn writes: so, here's the whole story im sitting here at home and i go to myspace, my inbox has 20 or 30 messages. i have been not really saying much about what's going on just cuz, well...anyway..... i just want to say thanx so much for all the kind words, offers to help, and prayers. i really am amazed at all the attention, and im at a loss for words that feel like they carry any weight or truly express my gratitude. if i don't personally get back to your message please, please do not be offended, its just that i get a little overwhelmed and don't feel too good most of the time. Here's where things stand so i can clear a couple things up:i was diagnosed with throat cancer in mid november, Julie ( my wife ) and i don't have insurance, we are however very fortunate and own a home that we can get a loan on, and also have access to some money. The place, Orange Coast Oncology in Newport Beach that was treating me, decided two days before my chemo was supposed to start, that they "were not comfortable" treating a patient w/o insurance that was trying to pay cash. In other words, go die, you don't have enough money. Fortunately, St Joseph's Hospital in Orange responded to my phone calls and have agreed to treat me w a promise to pay, and a large sum of money up front. The total approximate cost for all this is $250,000.00 My throat caner has spread to my lymph glands and a tumor has formed on my lymph node on my neck, still, in stage 3, the doctors say that with chemo, radiation, dental work and possibly surgery, i will be fine... DI will continue to play based on how good or bad i react to the chemo and radiation. I, like many of you, already know what a bad day feels like, and a bad day is no match for being punk rock and tough as fuck. Your support and kindness just make me stronger. i could go on and on, but i think ive made clear whats really going on. I wll repost this a few times to answer questions to those of you i might not haven't responded to. If you have any questions about the show at the Galaxy on feb 21st, contact franki, from franki doll & the broken toys, or scott from drain bramaged. Again, i love you, and just pay attention to whats important, and dont take things for granted, cuz you never know when life has a knife and wants to fight. chckn
