Derek Miller's Cancer Story

http://www.penmachine.com/ - Derek is your typical Gnomedex geek, and last year wrote Gnomedex theme song. Unfortunately, he could not join us in person this year. Instead, he comes to us from his bed.. where he likes being a floating head on a screen.

Derek Miller passed away this morning. :(

My heart goes out to Derek, and I hope the best for him. I'm glad he has a good attitude about it and hope he's ok.

Mythbusters! I know what you mean, Derek. I spent about 6 months in bed during my cancer treatment, and I watched a lot of Mythbusters.

I understand what you mean about reaching a point where you do not want to read any more about cancer. I think it's important to be educated about your cancer and treatment, but at some point you have to let the doctors do what they do, and hope things work out.

Hang in there, man.

R.I.P. Derek. You inspired many who had never met you, me included.

Does anyone know if this guy is still alive? I've gone through the same treatment it's almost 6months after chemo and I feel like I'm slowly dieing more and more each day.
