Wowsers, that's quite shocking - effectively, there seems to be the suggestion that he could be facing just a couple of years of life left.

Best of luck to him extending it to the 30 years to finish all the books he wants to write.

Best of luck to the him, I hope it works out - the treatment sounds like it's going to be a bit of an ordeal.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Well, I wish him all the best - sounds like he's going to need all the good wishes he can get.

Years and years of repeated terminal illness hoaxes that got fans in an uproar and had Jordan having to rebuff them in interviews ...

... and suddenly all those hoaxes of a terminal illness turn into reality.

Even if Jordan passes in just a few years, he'll have made his mark. That's a boast few can make.

I wish it were a hoax, but unfortunately, there are letters from Jordan on 2 legitamate boards regarding this matter. Wishing the best to Mr. Jordan and his family.

All the very best wishes to Mr Jordan and his loved ones.

That's rather sad news even if I personally feel his current series has spired a little out of control...

 

[red_temple]

Very sad news indeed. I hope he lives happy and healthy for a very long time yet to come.

 

[Foxtale]

I only wish all the people with this condition had the money to afford a proper treatment like he's getting. Donate now people!

And good luck to them all.

He can't die. He mustn't die.

This is very unsettling news.

Yes it is very sad and, unfortunately, very true. Here is the link to tor publishing that has a letter from jordan himself for any who are still in doubt. It explains what the disease is and what he's doing about it.

Aye very sad indeed and I hope and pray he gets those 30 years. I hope he gets to write all the books he has in his mind because it seems quite obvious to me, from reading that letter, that Robert Jordan absolutely loves to write. So if he gets to write all of those stories I am certain there will be some of them I will enjoy a lot.

Aye this author has definetly left his mark.

This is very sad news, I hope he gets to finish his series.

It is sad news indeed.

Just checked out RJ's Blogsite...what a strong person he comes across as.

Perhaps he should be concentrating on putting together the skeleton of what he wants to happen in his books, at least that way when he snuffs it his work can be completed and his readers not left hanging
