Send your positive energy to Alex, he is struggling

It maybe presumptuous of me to post this, but Alex is having a very hard time following the completion of his radiation therapy. He indicated to me this evening that he will not be thinking about astronomy in the near term, nor engaging with IIS, but hopefully he will read this thread and gain some strength from the wishes and support flowing from our community. Please use this thread to support Alex in a time of great need.
Thank you.

Alex, sending you all the best young man! We've all taken some hits, but for you to keep going the way you have, you've shown you got the inner strength you need. Hang in there, we're all behind you!

Hey Alex,

All the best to you. We need you here to keep us young whipper-snappers in line, and to show us what can be done (and how to do it!)

Cheers,
V

Hoping your downward turn bottoms out especially early. May the uptick be prolonged and importantly, very soon.


I hope you're feeling better very soon, Alex.
