Sorry to hear about this Studio... like others have said hopefully its benign and even if not its amazing how advanced treatments are.

A co-worker of mine is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer and while its a very hard road, she's making it through. My thoughts will definitely be with your :duff
 
Cancer is no stranger to my family, and this is news no one wants to hear. Hopefully they will find this as a benign tumor. Of course, that still doesn't mean this will be a fun experience, but it does mean you can most likely recover. My thoughts will be with you, my good sir. Keep us posted on the situation, please.
 
So sorry to hear about this dude!
Stay strong, stay positive and keep an open mind to all kinds of treatments.

As for the clothing set, no hurries man. I don't need the refund, keep the money and send the stuff out when you can.

All the best to ya dude.
 
My cousin has a brain tumor, he was just diagnosed.

YOU MUST stay mentally stong, if you mind is defeated your body will follow.

be like the HULK, SMASH that CANCER ! ! ! !

Studio...

Hey bro, I want to say that I just had a spinal tumor. My was found Nov. 2007. It was a small mass between my T9 & T10. I freaked out, we all automatically assume death. But the numbers are that spinal tumors are generally benign (non cancerous). All I can say is that pending what part of your spinal cord the tumor is at, it can affect your walking, arms, everything.

Well, I don't know where you live and how good your doctors in your city are, but please don't make the same mistake I made. I went to the first doctor my doctor recommended and I believed in him. Everyone told me that he was great spinal doctor, but he wasn't a great spinal tumor doctor (what I found out after the fact). Spinal tumors are in the nerves. Back pain, hernias and fractures are different. So please make sure whatever doctor you get, make sure the doctor is a spinal tumor specialist.

Like I said I went with the first doctor and he almost paralyzed my ass. It took me 6 months to walk with a limp. The sad part is the surgery was for the biopsy (the test to see what type of tumor it is). Well 1 year later the tumor grew, doubled as a matter fact and it started to shut down my lower half. I freaked out again, however this time I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, they are the number one hospital for neurology and spinal tumors. The doctor I met automatically knew what I had with just the MRI films. He also added that the first doctor f---ed me up, but he wouldn't go on record for that (to bad, I could have sued the first doctor). So my odds of paralyzation was higher. Your looking at a 5% chance of that (pending when yours is).

I had the spinal tumor removed in August 2009...and the doctors at the Mayo did a fantastic job. Yes, I was scared, but I believed in them. Well I just had a 6 month check up and the tumor hasn't come back. But Im still going through therapy and the process of walking normal again. Its a hard road.

I understand your concerns, so if you want to drop me a PM or continue to talk here, I will inform you want I can. Take care, and god bless.

Will be adding you to my prayers, studio. I sincerely hope all goes as well as it can.

And please don't refund me, but the last thing you need is added stress, so if that's your way of clearing any possible worries out of your mind so be it. Just let me resend the money when you're cool with that.
 
Sorry to hear this news John. Hopefully it is benign and you will have a speedy recovery. Keeping positive can only help. Best of luck.
 
You guys are right, maybe it is just a benign tumor. I have been doing as much reading as I can. It doesn't help that there are at least six different types of tumors that can happen in the spine. There is still a chance it's not as bad as I fear it could be, and I caught it early so that's good I guess.

Everyone who paid using credit card have been refunded. It may take a couple of days for that to process. As for not giving refunds as some of you have suggested, it's just easier this way. I was halfway through the process and it's just faster and less of a mess if everyone takes a refund. I will make sure everyone who ordered gets a set. Then when I get through this, I can start offering all the projects I had planned.

Well, I got some interesting news today. I have a tumor.

A few weeks ago I went on temporary leave from work due to some back spasms. I have tweaked muscles in my back before, but I was always able to recover. When the pain didn't go away, I started the process with my doctor to figure out what was causing the pain I was having. Yesterday, I went through the MRI for a more in depth scan. They found a small mass in my spine.

I guess it goes without saying that I am scared out of my f'ing mind.

I will be trying to contact everyone I have outstanding transactions with over the next couple of days. Anyone who purchased anything from me within the past couple of weeks will still receive their items. The Rainman figures I sold have shipped, or are shipping as agreed. As for the Tyler Durden clothing sets, I am refunding all the money for those outfits. Some of them have been mailed, but I still have some sitting on my table. Everyone who paid will be getting a refund, and my plan is to eventually get them out to everyone who ordered free of charge. I just don't know at this point how long that will take, so I think the only fair way to handle it is to refund money until I get a chance to finish the project.

I will be out of town starting this Friday, through next Tuesday. I probably won't be able to answer p.m.'s during those days. I am not asking for sympathy from anyone, but please, if you have a sales transaction with me and are concerned in any way just send me a p.m. and give me a few days to respond. You are getting your items, or a refund. In the case of the Tyler Durden outfits, you will be getting both.

Stay positive John and you'll soon be back to normal. You can beat this.

As for the refund, whatever is easier for you, but as KBA said once you beat this and are back to continuing your hobby and projects let us know and I will resend the money.
 
So Sorry to hear this man - stay positive and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Be strong! You'll beat this!
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. Keep your head up, stay strong, and come back to us soon. We'll be waiting - and praying - for you, man.
