I am saddened to announce that I will not be filming as much anymore. Some of you on here who have been close to me, know me pretty well. I was working a lot of crazy hours at my regular job and was recently was cut back because I have been in a lot of pain. I have been going to my primary care for visits to figure this all out, among other tests.
Finally, Friday May 23rd I found out my diagnosis and I have cancer.
That would explain why I haven’t been myself and feeling the pain I do. This was something I have been debating to share with you guys but I feel like you guys are a family to me here.
I have quite a bit of videos archived that I can release each month that haven’t been published yet. I am going to be struggling a while financially until I can get some treatment started. However, I really need to keep producing with the help of my camera girl Danielle so I can keep my video store fresh the coming months. I am also willing to do customs. Now is your time if you debated doing a custom with me. I will have time the next couple weeks to do them since I cut back a lot of hours at my regular job to deal with this.
This is something I have a love for and is not only a business but something I truly enjoy. As of now, I am continuing with my sessions.
I hope no one will judge me, I am going to try and keep a happy face on and kick cancers ass!
Skylar My thoughts and prayers are with you! You bring such a glow to this forum and after you beat this thing, I know you will continue to do so for years to come!
So sorry to hear that! Please let us know what if anything we can do to help. They do say laughter is the best medicine so tell us what you would like to see eh?
Skylar, I am so sad to hear that you are facing this! But as others have said, you are a strong lady, and you can fight this! I don't know the particulars of your case, but with modern medicine and technologies, this can be beat!
I'll look forward to whatever you release along the way, but don't try to do too much. You need your strength to fight this. On the other hand, producing and getting messy, seeing you enjoy it so much, might give you extra energy! Doing something fun that you love can be quite a tonic!
Sorry to hear that Skylar. You will get through this, & remain positive. Remember you have your family & friends in real life, & also your internet friends on UMD who are all thinking of you, & sending you lots of love & prayers xxxx
Hi Skylar we wish you all the best in your fight against this nasty diesies. But take care of yourself don't over do it because you need your strength to fight this. All the very best wishes. Mr & Mrs Wammer88 xx
You're so kind and the emails I have received were thoughtful.
I am strong and have a challenging battle to face, but have the faith to overcome.
Filming is something like I said, I do enjoy. I never looked at it much as a business to make money from, to me it's always been a labor of love. But now, it's going to be my primary source of income for sometime.
Thanks for all the kind words so far, the umd family here is very loving, encouraging and so supportive.
:ohbruther: hello Skylar many friends, and many fans around you , and in all the world have the best thoughts for you ..... we are (very soon) gooing to celebrate your cure ( with cream pies ) we love you :lovestruck:
I think I speak for all us girls in the house of mess when I say we are rooting for ya, I'm praying my heart out for ya and will have my little guy make sure to throw you some prayers at bedtime I can kinda understand but that is not what you need to hear...you are gonna kick this stuffs ass and fucking wam your heart out while doing so! We are rooting for team skylar!!! You got some damn good vibes and some awesome ppl over this way praying for you. Shalom and peace over your mind body and spirit
Skylar, if I could, I'd join up with the Beatles and we'd shrink down to microscopic size and travel thru your body in our little submarine and eradicate the disease. And we'd do a really awesome drug riddled soundtrack album. We'd even let Ringo sing a bit,just to prove how stoned we were.
As a fellow sufferer, I send you all my best wishes. Cancer cannot necessarily be cured, but it can be beaten. My wife had cancer of the uterus and that thankfully has been removed. It did take a hysterectomy, which considering her age, was possibly less of an issue for her than for someone of your tender years. Mine is untreatable, but not too serious. Take a positive attitude and show that you have a will to tackle it and you will find tremendous support from the medics.
Don't despair, there are a lot of people willing you on with love and care..
Thanks to each and every one of you. I can't express the feeling of being loved by such a great community as this one. I am loss for words.
I did get emails asking about donations and I don't feel comfortable putting a donation button on my website. However, if you feel inclined to do so to help off-set any costs, you may email me on here, and I can send you my PayPal email.
Some of you also seem to be a bit confused on my situation with work. My regular job keeps me on my feet all day, moving a lot, going back and fourth, etc... Because of the pain I have been in, I can't continue my regular job for some time. I will only be focusing on WAM related stuff now. So you guys have my full attention. I'll be editing and releasing new material already filmed. I will also be filming videos the days I can manage pain. Sessions are still a go for now.
It's a hell of a thing to have to go through at your age. But I have had family that have been there, faced it, and still walk the earth today a couple of decades later. So while there's no way to get that news and NOT be scared, just know that it IS something that can be overcome. Do what your docs say, pay close attention to living clean (if you'll pardon the pun on this forum) do the meds/chemo/radiation/dancing-naked-around-a-fire-backwards-at-midnight-while-sacrificing-a-chicken/whatever it takes, but get through it and get well. And try to keep as positive a spirit as you can; a life well-lived is worth fighting for. Good luck with it.
Oh, and one more thing. Don't start cooking any blue meth. That seems to go... poorly. Hang in there.
