Markskor in Hospital

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

I just got off of the phone with Mike. He asked me to pass along the following update on Mark.

He has a treatable form of Leukemia. It'll require about 1 month of intensive chemotherapy, followed by being sick as a dog for another month. He'll then be released to go home to Mammoth and will only be required to go back for periodic treatments. They're estimating there's about a 75% chance of the cancer going into permanent remission. :)

So sorry to hear this. Kick this cancer's ass Mark! I'll be thinking of you and sending healing vibe waves your way south from the eastside.
