This makes me very sad, but I've also gotta highlight her skill at perfectly nailing the tone of that video. Humor, sadness, gratitude, and fear, in excellent measure.

Plus, I'm thrilled to see somebody else with a nice sense of gallows humor. Sometimes, we have to laugh so we don't have to cry.

Oh damn, she’s an inspiring person, and I hope that this goes as well as possible for her. No matter how tough and funny you are, a curveball like this is always going to be a terrible shock, but the strength and humor will definitely help with recovery. I’m confident that her many fans (myself included) will wish her well and be waiting for her return when she’s ready,

Well that blows. I guess it is a reminder to watch for the little things on your head and how you feel. My cousin is going through the same "not cancer" but problematic brain tumor problems. He was further hampered by the learning he had a brain tumor from the billing department as opposed to his (now former) doctor. His only warning was a stiff neck for days on end.

Here's hoping that her Paetreon https://www.patreon.com/simonegiertz holds her over. Maybe some folks will sponsor some projects.
