Humor is very important in healing and in life. I admire how you are conveying a serious message in such a comical way. My sister died from ovarian cancer 9 years ago, but the best memories are always of family and fun. I wish you well with your project.
I like you was diagnosed with bone cancer, Multiple Myeloma. And like u I am doing well. Thanks to the team at U.C. Davis, I had a stemcell transplant. I am not quite in remission yet but doing well. I was so thrilled to hear about your comic book. I also use humor to deal with this monster, Lol. Sometimes I think of myself as a science experiment. But allways laughing about it. I am a 47 year old mother of four and grandmother of four. I hope that i might be able to receive a copy I think it would be cool to see
Thanks so much to everyone of our backers! We're really excited about bringing this comic book to life.
Werner - Sure we'll ship international, thanks for your support.
Shiv - Although we say the comic is targeted at 'young adults with cancer', we feel anyone age 13 - 80 with the right sense of humor will appreciate this comic.
We've got 29 days to go and a TV interview next week.... hopefully we'll get alot more people interested.
THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!!

Switzerland Calling! I'm a comic fan AND a cancer patient myself (diagnosed in 2003 with oligoastrocytoma III) I'm still alive and kicking today and support any means to kick cancer in the ass. I added some cash to my pledge for international shipping. I sure hope you do international?
Good luck. While I might be out of your target demographic (44 y.o.), I think is a terrific idea. As a colorectal cancer patient, I hope you have scenes of the heroine kicking asshole cancer in the ass.
This is such an awesome project - I can't wait to see the finished products! I've really related to your blog being a young designer dealing with cancer as well. Thanks for that.
This project ROCKS. I'm glad you thought of getting the visibility from Kickstarter. I really think feeling like you're kicking the cancer's ass and making light of it is a good way to heal. If you're hankering to do another projects, everyone who's had cancer that I've talked to loves the idea of humorous cancer cards. Happy holidays!!
This is so much what I should have done a few years ago. I applaud your creative vision and your attitude (and your thyroid scar, which totally kicks mine in the ass)! Best of luck with the project!
I'm am thrilled to be backing this awesome project!
You go, Kaylin and Jon!
Yay for Terminally Illin!!!! I am really excited to back and be part of this amazing project!!
