Kanik is the Six Million Dollar Man

Kanik's new chemotherapy treatment is still scheduled to begin this Tuesday.  This new treatment requires Kanik to be infused with the drugs for two straight days, so he got a small tube (called a mediport) placed into one of his blood vessels.  (Here is a picture of a mediport: http://lymphomasucks.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/mediport.jpg)  So, Kanik received the mediport implantation on Friday and all went well.  He's now physically ready to get this new treatment and, in Kanik's words, become "a cyborg." Steve Austin ain't got NOTHIN on Kanik!

Kanik's good friend, John West, just visited him in NYC and wrote this about the time he spent with Kanik:  

Kanik looked great, was walking from one end of Brooklyn to the other and working like a fiend in the studio! Landed a new commission of vessel work, designing for some new pieces for somewhere in the Middle East.. and excited for Mazel Tov [Glass], and schedule is slammed...

We'll be sure to keep you posted with more information about this new treatment but, in the meantime, feel free to send Kanik emails, texts and love in all its messy, sloppy and sappy incarnations this week.
