Hello Burners. My playa name is Lughnasa. I'm a veteran Burner and I'm in need of some help.
I've been living with colon cancer for almost three years now. I'm in chemo, but relying mostly on holistic medicine to beat it. I was almost sidelined last Burn because of this but made it to the Burn in 2012 and intend to make it to Cargo Cult as well. I'm just not sure if it's going to happen.
I got my tickets this year, but I'm feeling pretty down lately. The treatments are rough and seemingly unending. All the cliche stuff you see in movies and on television about cancer? Yeah, I'm going through it now. I'm not complaining. In life all our problems are relative and mine are no worse than anyone's.
What I'm asking of anyone who happens to read this is to send me some positive, healing karma. Nothing more. My heart is heavy when I think I won't make it to the Burn this year. I just want to hear the words, "Welcome home," when I arrive. It's one of the few times I've felt cradled by a community in this world and I don't want to miss it.
So if you are reading this, please send some energy my way ... and pass this message along to anyone who would do the same. I am totally self-reliant on the playa, but I just need some help right now in the default world.
Thanks in advance.
Lugh.

Sending you good vibrations and a healthy dose of juju. Keep your faith and spirit strong. (((lugh)))
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Re: Burner with Cancer in need of Karma
Glad to hear you finally made it to the event last year. Hopefully the cancer hasn't returned (you mentioned being cancer-free last year). Welcome back and good luck!

Sending good vibes, Lugh. Where are you living now?
Re: Burner with Cancer in need of Karma
Yeah, the cancer returned. Boo. Still fighting the good fight, though.

Re: Burner with Cancer in need of Karma
Sending healing to you. I had cancer (two kinds!) in 2004. Finished radiation on a Friday, got in a car to go to TTITD on Sunday. You can do this, hang in there. Much love.

Awesome! Fuck cancer!
Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.
