Update From the 271 Patent Blog

By Peter Zura

Many readers have been wondering what happened to the blog, as I have not posted anything for the last month. The short answer is that the blog is alive and well and postings will resume shortly.

So what happened? Well, the longer answer is a bit more complicated.

Around Labor Day, doctors found masses in my body, and I underwent surgery to remove them. About a week later, the doctors confirmed that the masses were cancerous. Thereafter, I began a regimen of radiation therapy, which continued until last week. I am currently in the process of recovering from the therapy, and I anticipate being my normal self very soon.

That being said, I consider myself quite lucky. The cancer was caught in a very early stage, and the doctors anticipate that I will make a full and complete recovery. Tests showed that there was no metastization of the cancer, and, as of this moment, I am cancer-free. I am also blessed to have many supportive friends/co-workers/colleagues (and, dare I say, concerned readers) that helped me and my family through this difficult time. I can't thank you enough for your thoughts and prayers.

- Peter
