Well, I'm still in the hospital and they're doing tests to determine how far it has spread. That will determine the course of treatment. I'll be going through radiation and chemo. It's too late for surgery.
- Michael McKean
Well, it's treatable. I'm prepared to do whatever I have to to get through this. I'm staying positive. :)
- Michael McKean
My internet access will be intermittent while I'm here, but I'll try to keep everyone updated. Thanks for all of your support. I really appreciate it!

Medical science is pretty damn good these days; you'll beat it, no problems.

Michael, so sorry to hear your news. :-(

Michael: that really sucks. I always wonder what I'm going to do when faced with death? I hope I have the courage to stare it in the face and do something with the horrible news like you and Drew do. I know a great Lung doctor at Stanford, if you need someone world class.
- Robert Scoble
sorry to hear about the diagnosis. hopefully the therapy is effective and that you can beat this thing

Michael: glad to hear it's treatable. I lost a friend to lung cancer in the 1980s. Back then it was a death sentence. Bummed me out to hear this news. Anyway, go and crush it.
- Robert Scoble
oh no! I had a co-worker who got lung cancer. They removed his one lung and he was able to do with just one. In his case though, he was a heavy smoker and even after his surgery, he continued to smoke.
- Adria Richards
Terribly sorry to hear about this, Michael. We're all with you in spirit, and know that you will pull through this.

I'm truly sorry. A close friend's father is diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago too. Hope you get well very soon.

Sorry. When I had cancer, I just walked through it, literally. Keep moving. My thoughts are with you.
- Zachary TG
So sorry, man. But as has been said, oncology has come a long way. My father has leukemia and my wife´s a doctor so I´ve discussed cancer treatment news a lot the last few years. Stay positive.

I hope it will become easier to bear once the initial diagnostics are done and you can focus on a course of treatment. Not knowing is harder.

Very sorry to hear this, Michael, but glad to hear it's treatable. All the best of luck with your treatment. Staying positive is huge. I really think that's what got my friend through breast cancer. She was so focused. I hope the same for you. You're in my thoughts.
- Ayşe E.
Good luck. If you'd like some help, I've done a lot of anti-cancer research. My Dad has some anti-cancer drugs he's just patented. There are many dietary things which can help. My Dad's speciality is researching east-west chemicals to find compounds of similar shape to anti-cancer drugs but less toxicity. Feel free to e-mail me (E-mail on my Facebook or LinkedIn pages).
- Mitchell Tsai
I'm very sorry to hear this Michael. My aunt is recovering from breast cancer...in addition to the treatments she found support from friends and family to be the best medicine. Immerse yourself in those things, stay positive & you will beat it. I wish your nothing but the best.
- Jeffrey Marsh
