I hate it when we're reminded that our favourite authors are only human beings.

That is very sad. I was touched to see the way he announced it, with characteristic wit and humor.

Oh, that is sad news... I wish him all the best. These things are always best dealt with when diagnosed early.

I am saddened to learn of this.

It's good he was diagnosed early... That way he can be better treated.

Something seems to be happening to all of our great writers:

First Robert Jordan dies.

Then Steve Alten is diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

Not Terry Pratchett is disagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's.

It's really sad, the way our diseases work.
