Thank you so much for responding to me. You mention in your book about the prevalence of smoking in the Sea Org. I read that 60% of esophageal cancer is caused by smoking. I imagine that with your genetic mutation that created a perfect storm. I appreciate your continuing your efforts to expose the abuses of CoS, even with your own health fight on your hands. My husband just told me that you and Leah were on Jake Tapper so I’m gonna watch that now. Again, all the best to you and your family.

No chemo/immuno as long as the drug is good. There are side effects to every treatment and the first drug I was on couldn’t be tolerated (making my liver toxic). Chemo/immuno is the next step if no targeted drug handles the cancer.

I think I found the drug you mean when I looked online. I do hope it works for you. Do you have to do chemo/radiation as well? Seems like it’s a substitute for the chemo from what I see but I’m not a dr. You have had a lot in your life and you and your wife and kids deserve continued happiness and health.

It’s a drug that specifically targets RET-positive advanced cancer.

Amazing how it seems like Scientology provides a never ending source of material for those brave enough to document it.
Immediately looked online because I had previously read something from Leah about you taking time/ needing to take care of yourself. Shocked to read about your cancer. I haven’t bothered looking but I bet CoS is thrilled to see their prediction about leaving causing cancer is “true.”
Was wondering if you could/would share anything about the special therapy that you are now getting due to your generic mutation? Wondering if it’s some sort of immunotherapy, or CRISPR gene therapy, etc. You are a smart guy so if it’s an approved therapy by FDA, and if you have insurance, hopefully they can cover some of the cost. Glad to hear that people are stepping up to help out.

I’ve known about you before that and admire how you started speaking out against the church even though they harassed and spread lies about you. Your a good man that got caught up in a Cult, you survived them and all their inhuman treatment and you will come out of this strong and well. Never give up any of your fights. Your an inspiration to so many and will be far longer than Scientology exists.
Thank you for all you do to help so many!

,Absolutely Mike. You saved my life by helping me get to Los Angeles to get a pacemaker defribulator (spelled wrong) otherwise I would have been dead several times by now. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I do not have much money but I can repair cars, ships or whatever. Thank you, sir for all you are doing. When I left the Freewinds my death was almost assured; considering the Captain had ordered my imprisoned wife to End Cycle on me as I would be dead soon 22 years ago. I do not expect to live another 22 years. Without you I would be dead already
