A note from your editor

I've been where you're now. Three years ago, at age 33, I got the diagnosis, and the following years where a mixture of operations, chemo therapy, hope, despair at the tumor having spread, and lastly: relief at being healed and cancer-free.

Your way won't be easy, but if the tumor is of a kind that has a good chance of being healable then take a heart: you will get through it. And please, as much as I value your articles, your insight into all things Linux you should and have to place your health first and foremost in the coming months. If that means letting LWN slack then let it! It doesn't matter. Defeating cancer does; it's all that does.

One very grateful and sympathetic reader.
