Mick Karn (Japan) has terminal cancer
Posted: 05 Jun 2010, 12:13
To quote from the Japan Pioneers message boards:
Apparently on May 31 or so it was discovered that Mick has terminal cancer and he was put into the hospital. The immediate concern is for Mick's mental health because part of the cancer has spread to his brain. The doctors are very concerned that Mick could lose mental coherence within a few days at this point. The cancer is also present in his lymph system and his lungs. Mick and the family have inquired about chemotherapy. Feedback from the physicians is that it could only treat part of the problem because the cancer has metastasized into many systems in his body. Mick has been given perhaps a few weeks to live.
There's an appeal for support on his web site:
