April 29, 2004

beautiful day

OH MY GOD!

I just got off the phone with Anne. Kris got the results of her biopsy just now . . . and IT CAME BACK CANCER-FREE!! The chemo and radiation have done their thing, and she's safe for at least two years!

I feel like I'm going to cry. I saw Kris this morning at Anne's salon, and I thought she looked healthier and better than I expected. We talked about the support WWdN readers have given her, and how much your love, prayers, mojo, tantric healing waves, and crazy voodoo monkey magic have helped her at this time.

You guys . . .

I just don't know how to express how joyous and grateful I feel right now.

Anne will write more details later on.

» Happy news from the world of Wil Wheaton from Because I didn't have enough other stuff to do
It is a joyous day today because Wil's friend Kris who has been suffering from Leukemia is now cancer free (for at least the next two years, fingers crossed that it will be for longer than that). [Read More]

» YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY from Reluctantly freaky
I am so utterly thrilled, and I can only guess the happiness and relief they feel. I don't even know Kris, but I mean, put yourself into this situation... and Anne's last entry was so ... heartwrenching. I am sooooooo HAPPY to hear this!!! [Read More]

That is amazing. If that doesn't make you want to walk a marathon, I don't know what will. Kris kicked cancer's ass! Woohoo!

Posted by: shane at April 29, 2004 05:09 PM

That is *SUCH* good news to hear; I can't put it into words.....

I wish everyone could be as lucky as Kris.

Congrats Kris

YAY!!! That's one less hurdle to work on. Thanks for sharing the great news, Wil! Give Kris a great, big hug for us! :^) (Who cares if I look stupid doing the happy happy dance in my corner of the office.)

W00000000000000t!

That is whack (in a good way). Wiggedy whack, not just regular type.

The cancer has been RADIATION'D & CHEMO'D!

:o)

Posted by: Reena at April 29, 2004 05:34 PM

PRAISE THE LORD!! We went through this with my littlest sister the last few years, and getting that "cancer free" report is the most beautiful gift when it comes. Congrats to her and may she continue to thrive and survive.

Posted by: Tammy at April 29, 2004 05:36 PM

Woooooooo!

And with your wonderful support and friendship, Wil and Anne, I'm sure it made her healing process all that much faster. My best wishes to Kris! And a special thanks to Wil and Anne. If only everyone could be blessed with that kind of love and support!

Posted by: Natalie at April 29, 2004 06:05 PM

I'm trying to think... What news could be cooler than this? Hmmm...

Oh wait! NO NEWS could be cooler than this! Right on! Way to go, Kris!

Posted by: Morgan Cary at April 29, 2004 06:06 PM

That's fucking awesome! Give her a big hug from all of us next time you see her.

Posted by: Clay at April 29, 2004 06:06 PM

The saving grace of human beings everywhere is our ability to feel joy and sadness on behalf of people we have never met.

I am so very happy for Kris and I am so very sad for those that did not get such great news today. Perhaps they will tomorrow.

Posted by: Arwen at April 29, 2004 06:11 PM

WOO HOO!!!

That's great news! :D

Posted by: Toonces at April 29, 2004 06:20 PM

"Happy Dances All Around!!!"

CONGRATS TO KRIS!!!

Hey Wil, you and Anne need to give yourselves a big hug too. My best friend (also named Kris...go fig) had a major bout with cancer about a year ago and I know how difficult it can be for friends and loved ones as well. It takes a strength of character alot of people don't realise. Aww, heck, HUGS ALL AROUND!!!!

Jonathan

Posted by: Jonathan G. at April 29, 2004 06:23 PM

Wow. I don't even know this person (besides the glimpses that Wil and Anne have graced us with), and I am perfectly thrilled. That is wonderful.

I'll tell the crazy voodoo monkeys you said thanks.

I'd already had a pretty cool day today, but that has made it even better. Its good to hear that Kris is getting better. Glad to here all the posative mojo/crazy voodoo monkey magic from this site worked :p. I'm sure I speek for everyone here, when I ask you to pass on our congratulations and regards to kris.

Posted by: Ben at April 29, 2004 06:49 PM

Congrats to Will and Kris! That's great news...and even though I don't know either one of you personally - and most likely never will - I'm happy for you. :)

Posted by: Paul at April 29, 2004 06:52 PM

Posted by: jbay at April 29, 2004 07:07 PM

I was kind of in a funky mood today -- and to hear this kind of good news, my own attitude just did an abrupt turn around -- well, it just goes to show the more good mo-jo you spread around, the more it comes back at ya. Yeah for Kris!

Posted by: Eva at April 29, 2004 07:12 PM

That is friggin' FANTASTIC!! Always good to hear someone's given cancer the boot.

Posted by: Angie at April 29, 2004 07:30 PM

HELL YEAH! I *knew* she could do it. With friends like y'all and a will as strong as she seems to have, there was no doubt in my mind that she could.

Kick ass, man, kick ass.

Posted by: Jessica D. at April 29, 2004 07:32 PM

Rock on! Mojo will continue to flow as the post-cancer journey commences! Anne and Wil, you guys are awesome. Without you, we wouldn't have a mojo funnel directly to Kris. You guys rule \m/ ^,^ \m/

Posted by: Danielle at April 29, 2004 08:16 PM

Hey G'd bless her. I lost my boyfriend of 4 years to cancer earlier this year, and what an ordeal it is to have a loved one going through all that pain. I'm so glad she is cancer-free, such GREAT news on such a beautiful day as this was, shining sun, a light breeze, what more could you ask for? Have a great one.

Posted by: Paul at April 29, 2004 08:20 PM

*smile*

This is indeed fantastic news! I just beat ovarian cancer, caught in the very early stages. I can imagine how everyone feels.

Still smiling!

Posted by: Maggie at April 29, 2004 08:26 PM

Wil,
It is great to see good news. Most people seem to be starving for the privilege of good news.

Posted by: Fabian at April 29, 2004 08:32 PM

It is truly marvelous that your friend Kris is doing so well and has gotten a clean report. I hope the best for the years to come for her.

I woke up today, looked outside and said it was a gorgous day, then I saw todays website and its title couldn't have spoken any more the truth.

Posted by: Fiona at April 29, 2004 08:37 PM

Beautiful. This is one of those feelings of positivity that just can't be explained. If it makes any sense, it makes me happy to be happy for you. Now go take a breather.

Posted by: Forrest Gabitsch at April 29, 2004 09:05 PM

Thats so awesome, I am amazed by the miracles that occur everyday. Glad all is well and Kris is in the clear. I will continue to pray for her ongoing recovery and continued strength for Anne and you.

and thank you for these posts... I remembered I needed to make my son's oncologist appointment. *SIGH*

That's excellent news Wil! Kris was very lucky! I lost both a co-worker and an uncle to cancer and my paternal aunt is currently undergoing chemotherapy as we speak. But she's a fighter and she'll pull through!

Kris deserves mad kudos for her strenght!

Posted by: sabrina at April 30, 2004 02:42 AM

Although I don't know her personally, Kris' news has just brightened up my really crappy day...

I hope all you guys can all send my Grandad some of that amazing mojo as he has recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumour above his stomach. The cancer has spread to his lymph nodes and he will soon be having an operation and chemotherapy.
So keep those good vibes coming to all who need the extra love and good wishes!

Finding out you are cancer free is one of the best feelings out there! :)

Posted by: steph at April 30, 2004 05:34 AM

Aw, that's great... thanks for letting us know Wil. And it's the unbelievable support we saw you and Anne giving Kris that makes all of your readers be supportive in return, one amazingly good deed follows another.

Best wishes to everyone, and continued good luck on the fundraising. I'm in the middle of fundraising for the AIDS Walk in NYC on May 16th... and while reaching your goal is difficult it is so worthwhile.

Wow - that made me do the happy tearing-up thingy. That's awesome news.

And just because I'm easily distracted, I went to check, and www.voodoomonkeymagic.com is available, if anyone out there wants to snag it. =)

Posted by: Kilbia at April 30, 2004 06:21 AM

I'm really happy for Kris. Cancer runs on both sides of my family: one uncle and both of my grandfathers have died from cancer and cancer-related complications. My aunt is fighting it now, and one of my cousins fought and won against Leukemia. It's always a relief when someone pulls through.

Aside: I saw a commercial last night. W. F. Shatner was being sacked as the spokesperson for Direct something or other (don't remember the product, sorry...) They had found someone better suited to them, and I thought "Oh God, please let it be Wil Wheaton." It was Mr. Nemoy. But it would have been funny if it HAD been you!

Anyway. Enough on the tangent...

Celebratory pledge going out this weekend; thank God today's payday. :)

One of our volunteers at work stayed cancer-free for 16 years; she referred to her latest bout of chemo as "the 16,000 mile lube job". ;) Hopefully Kris has one of those maintenance-free jobs and won't ever have to go in again!

Hugs and mojo all around...

Great news!

I'm so happy to read that! Congats to Kris!

Posted by: Jodie at April 30, 2004 09:54 AM

That is fantastic news! I know firsthand what a relief that is. My uncle is currently undergoing cancer treatment and we recently found out that the tumor in his brain is completely gone. Hooray for Kris (and Uncle Ted) :).

Posted by: Amber at April 30, 2004 10:08 AM

That's great news man! My dad is still in the hospital, they had to remove a benign mass from the lower left lobe of his lung. They actually ended up removing the whole thing. He'll be alright, but I just wanted to say that I feel for ya homes.

Posted by: Matt at April 30, 2004 10:27 AM

Thank you, thank you for posting that and keeping us in touch. Thank you God for bringing Kris through this, and all the doctors for doing so well with her. This is just what I needed today, a little hope for the cancer world.

I just found out last night that we're going to lose my uncle to cancer in a few months. They're not even going to try treatment, he's so far gone. When I was 8, I lost one of my best friends to leukemia, and I decided then that when I was grown up and had a real job, the Canadian Cancer Society was going to be my charity of choice. Even then, I gave $5 or $10 each year to the fundraiser run my school did in his memory. (For a 10-year-old in the 80s, that was a lot!) Since then, my aunt, grandfather, and another friend have all joined the "survivors" group. (The friend still has one more hurdle until he can be declared cancer-free, but he's been doing amazingly well.)

Each time you posted an update on Kris, I held my breath. I was SO glad to see this morning that she's been declared cancer-free. Congratulations to her, and good for you, Wil and Anne, for all fund-raising you're doing for the cause. We need to get rid of this disease for once and for all.

Posted by: Julie at April 30, 2004 10:34 AM

Whoa, I'm waaaaaaaaaaay down on this list... oh well... ROCK ON KRIS! WOOOOOOOOOO! :D

Posted by: Rachael at April 30, 2004 10:37 AM

That's wonderful, day brightening news indeed. Hope your walk goes well and Kris's health continues to improve. :)

Posted by: mathgoddess at April 30, 2004 11:04 AM

Wow, Wil. That's great news. I've been following her fight vicariously through your blog and I'm tickled pink.

Give her a hug for all of us.

Posted by: Keith at April 30, 2004 11:13 AM

What more can I say?... That's AWESOME news!!!

[happy dance goin' on in my heart]

where can I learn that crazy voodoo monkey magic? I'd like to use that to help people with their health battles. is there a college or do I have to become an apprentice?

Posted by: edwood at April 30, 2004 11:21 AM

HAPPY, HAPPY!! Thanks for caring and sharing, Wil. This has been the BEST post on your blog ever--the Good News about someone other than self.

Continued prayers and cancer-free health to Kris!!! PRAISE THE LORD, INDEED...

That's excellent news, way to go Kris

Posted by: Rose at April 30, 2004 11:24 AM

Oh, Wil - what wonderful news! All my best to you, Anne and Kris. (and the boys, too, of course.)

Posted by: Pam Whittaker at April 30, 2004 11:36 AM

I was just sitting here thinking what a shame it was that it's raining on Friday, and a payday at that! Then I click over on the ol' Yahoo! RSS feed to Wil's blog and lo' and behold a miracle has taken place! Now I suddenly feel like putting the top down on my car and cruising just enjoying life! Congrats to Kris and here's to good news!


Oddly, my anti-ergonomic office chair seems softer and more comfortable somehow. Strange. :)

This sort of news is always great to hear.

Canadians should note that it is now possible to donate to the Canadian Cancer society via PetroCan when you gas up (in blocks of 5000 points). It's nothing out of your pocket and it does add up over a year.

Posted by: synchronicity at April 30, 2004 12:24 PM

Oh my god. Kris, Anne and Wil all the best to you. This is so great. (hugs)

Posted by: kathryn at April 30, 2004 12:26 PM

W00T! That's awesome!
I haven't been around WWDN nearly as much as I used to. I realized that I tend to focus on a couple of addictions at a time and the rest fall to the side.
I'm still checking in every once in awhile and want you and Anne to know that I'm thinking about you even though I'm just one of thousands of readers to you.

Great job with the fundraising. Keep it up!
My prayers go out to Kris for good health for the rest of her long life.

Posted by: Delphine at April 30, 2004 12:43 PM

this is awesome news - i feel so relieved! congratulations to kris and hugs all around.

Wil, I'm on the verge of tears myself, and I've never met Kris. I am so happy for her, not only for beating cancer for at least a couple of years, but for having such incredible friends like you and Anne. Which means she must be a great person herself.

Continued good health to her, and to you and your family, Wil.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOO! Great news!
I wish her a speedy recovery from all of the treatments.

Posted by: Raeann at April 30, 2004 02:01 PM

that is great .... hope it stays on the up side Kris

Posted by: Christine at April 30, 2004 02:39 PM

I'm glad to hear it. Both my mother (who has since passed away) and uncle have had colorectal cancer; both came through their operations fine and cancer free. I'm glad to hear she's out of the woods for at least a couple years. :)

Posted by: Wayne Ligon at April 30, 2004 02:47 PM

WOW....
With all the crappy news in the world....this is so super....

Posted by: pilch at April 30, 2004 03:17 PM

That is fantastic news. Those of us in the cancer survivors club welcome her aboard with open arms.

---By the way Wil. Don't know if you're into the horse racing thing, but there's a horse in the Kentucky Derby tomorrow that has a pint of Guiness for breakfast every morning. The name is Tapit. Thought you might be interested...

Posted by: chip at April 30, 2004 04:04 PM

Wil,
I'm so very glad to hear the good news! God bless you all and all the wonderful people that have been praying, sending positive vibes, mojo, and so on. I am new to your site and so happy to have found it. I'm still working my way through it and learning more about you and loving it. Thanks

Behold the power of Unka Willie and his monkeys!! Seriously, that is fantastic news! Good news is so hard to come by these days, since I'm avoiding all types of news while my husband is deployed to the Middle East, it's so great to stumble upon some happy news. Best of luck with the marathon!

Posted by: Shauna at April 30, 2004 08:32 PM

Wonderful news! I'm a long time reader but first time poster. I couldn't resist sharing my congratulations and bursting joy at this news! I will continue to keep Kris in my thoughts and prayers.

I know its totally off topic, apologies all around, but when I saw this I nearly wet myself. Go to the website below and look for the commercial. O. M. G. www.xxxchurch.com Look for Pete, he will save us all.

Most excellent news!

It renews my faith in humanity and higher powers and the power of positive thinking!

Happy wishes and ever more ubermojo to Kris and all her family, and to you, Wil and Anne, and your family.

Posted by: Dooey at May 1, 2004 06:20 PM

Woo Hoo!
Wonderful news - and at a time when I needed it. We buried my Uncle Thursday. He died from a liver tumor. So glad to hear Kris kicked Cancers arse!
Go Kris!!

Posted by: Sharfa at May 1, 2004 06:34 PM

GREAT Kris,, my Mom also went through chemo & RAD, she is a 2 years survivor of breast cancer. So our prayers are with you to ..

Posted by: danman at May 1, 2004 10:24 PM

As a survivor of Hodgekin's disease (9 years - yay me!!), I have an idea of what Kris was going through. Having friends and family beside you, supporting you the way you and Anne supported her, is essential to one's recovery. They are constant reminders of why one has to keep fighting.

From all the survivors around the country - thank you for bringing attention to this organization and for all the work you and Anne have done.

CONGRATS KRIS!!! May you never have to go through another day of chemotherapy again!

Posted by: Jen at May 1, 2004 10:36 PM

That's such amazing news. I was having such a good day and I didn't think it could get better, but... Lo and behold! I was wrong. I'll keep sending good mojo Kris's way, in hopes of a continued clean bill of health.

Thanks for passing the news on, Wil. :)

Much love to all.

Posted by: Suzanne at May 1, 2004 10:37 PM

This is great news!

Kick... ass!

May Kris (and danman and everyone) live to see the next solar eclipse.

Posted by: Forest at May 2, 2004 12:46 AM

Upon reading through these comments it really hits home quite how many peoples lives have been touched by cancer in one way or another.
Keep fighting it everyone, my love is with you all!

Posted by: Jenny T at May 2, 2004 03:03 AM

yes...so many people are suffering....
cancer and other physical illnesses...
and the illnesses of the mind....
sometimes those are the deepest,darkest caves to explore.....
love you guys......

Posted by: pilch at May 2, 2004 07:35 AM

Good news. I lost my mother to cancer in 2000. Devastated everyone around me...my father too his own life shortly after. Glad to hear it's worked out OK and god bless, Kris will be fine for years to come. Cherish every day.

Posted by: Cockles at May 2, 2004 11:01 AM

Posted by: Jen at May 3, 2004 08:51 AM

Wow, over 170 "hoorays". I'll add mine and say thank you for keeping us up to date Wil. Praise the Lord for modern medicine.

Posted by: Michelle at May 3, 2004 09:42 AM

That's great news! Hurrayyyy!

Will, I found your site totally by accident. Briefly, I have my blog on Live Journal and the URL is above. It's interesting ;)

Anyway, I'm not a crazed fan. I hate Star Trek, but will always love SBM. HOWEVER, when I was a budding girl, you were one of the ONLY boys on my wall. As I am a lesbian, you should be proud!!

Anyway, I too am a fan of Homestar Runner and Think Geek so I thought, "Hell, I'll check his blog out." Here I am then.

And again, hurray for cancer free!

Posted by: Sara (cerebralcrunch) at May 3, 2004 10:53 AM

this is so weird. i just found this site, i was like, OOH! will wheaton!

and i also just finished chemo + radiation.

so, congrats! i know the feeling.

Posted by: meredith at May 3, 2004 11:48 AM

That is great news! I guess prayers really do work:)

Posted by: Dan L at May 3, 2004 12:41 PM

What wonderful news!!!! :)

Posted by: Ness at May 3, 2004 02:21 PM

Wil,

I have been trying to post a comment for "The Bear" but it won't accept my comment; it keeps telling me "comments not allowed for this post."
Help, please.

Freeman :)

Posted by: Freeman in Louisiana at May 3, 2004 06:32 PM

Wil, sending lots of > to the Bear, from me and my two kits, Bernadette and Wallace. The love of a kitty is a precious thing and I'm sure that your positive outlook is helping tremendously. Hang in there.

Posted by: Laura at May 3, 2004 08:16 PM

After going through chemo and radiation myself (I had Hodking's Disease three years ago), I know for a fact that this kind of news is the better there is! Congratulations Kris!

Thank God we, survivors, are no longer de minority!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETNEEEESSSSSSS!!!! BIG YAY AND HOORAY FOR KRIS!!! I know Im late responding to all of this stuff.. My son was in the hospital for 4 days (thurs-monday).. So I had some catching up to do. But that is wonderful to hear. I lost a friend last august to advanced t-cell leukemia. It hit him hard and fast and he was gone within 2 months after the diagnosis. So I am very happy to hear that your friend is beating the boots off that nasty disease!! Keep it up Kris!! We are all pulling for you!!

Posted by: Lotus at May 4, 2004 06:55 PM

Wil -

I enjoy reading your posts, but when you say: "...how much your love, prayers, mojo, tantric healing waves, and crazy voodoo monkey magic have helped her at this time" don't you see the lack of intellectual integrity? I'm so glad Kris' cancer is gone, but do you really think my "mojo," etc. had anything to do with it? do you really think that's how the universe operates. I'm expecting far more logical, realistic thinking from you.

I am glad much, without a doubt... Its beautiful day.
