Linda posted it on facebook. She said that he's having 4 tests today to figure out where they are at with this...I thought all you folks that love Brian like I do would like to know...very very sad...I hope and pray that he can get through this.

Hey Herbie, Thanks for the update -- though I sure don't like to hear this kind of news at any time. Especially in light of Brian's very recent comment on a b'day thread, it's truly surreal: Finally... a happy event when you see someone's name on a post lately, I am afraid to open it! Have fun!
Brian Looking forward to hearing more positive news soon, and in the meantime, Brian and Linda, sending you both buckets of good thoughts and prayers. All the best, Beth

I have been pming with Brian on certain projects, and one of the things he has asked is that his health not be discussed publicly...for a variety of reasons. While none of you could know that (and Herbie, I understand your posting this thread out of concern and wanting to share) it's his wish that we keep the health issue on the quiet side. I guess Linda posting it on Facebook made it a public issue, but I'm just passing on what he had said to me. PMs are probably better at this point, or cards even. I'm praying for him too.

We all highly respect you and look up to you with thanks and gratitude for what you have given to all of us struggling writers and musicians. We are all better for it.

Hi Brian,
So sorry to hear of this setback. Whether we tell you often enough or not, you are in our thoughts daily. Healing thoughts coming your way out of the north.

Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated... well... perhaps not so greatly, but fortunately for me, the grim reaper was repelled once again. 12 hours ago I thought I had zero chance at a future but after a re-evaluation by additional doctors, I can push forward, not quite as aggressively as I want (for example, I am not allowed to meet my goal of playing Golf on my Birthday Friday which was to be my own little physical therapy improvement landmark goal) but after avoiding death twice, I'll consider that achievement enough for the moment.
I just got back home, a little weaker and a little more shaky than I left it, but no less happy and hopeful for the future!
Thanks sincerely for the well wishes.. I got to read them in the hospital during a particularly dark time frame there and it really helped!
Love to all,
Brian

Actually Brian, we may HAVE met years ago. We both graduated high school in 1982. Were you involved on your school's speech team or drama departments? I keep thinking that we have met at a speech meet or maybe the state drama conference.

Good news Brian!!!
And I might add MHO to one thing you mention'''''''''''''
'''''''''"After re-evaluation by additional doctors"---Doctors ar "people" they're not "Gods" ,though many seem to think so. Thay make "mistskes" They make the wrong diagnosis, etc.--On anyithing serious, if it's at all possible,
"Get a second opinion!!"
Sorry, hot button <G> Carry on as before
Get Well!!
