Tom Van Flandern

I will pray for his quick recovery and return to vibrant health.


Send him my best wishes

Alan

I feel as if I am a small boy holding but a teaspoon of knowledge standing before the Infinity Ocean of all knowledge

Tom has put me onto the right track to study cosmology.

He will not be forgotten.

Once in a while an Icon of a man lives in our presence.

Let us hope for his recovery.

Smile and live another day

I too wish Tom and his family the best during this difficult time.

Neil

I too am sad to hear of Tom's struggle. I hope to see him recover completely and wish him all the best.

Jim Shand

I will also pray for Tom and his family.

Tom Van Flandern will be out of the office until further notice.

On November 11th, 2008, Tom was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer under emergency conditions. Since then his condition has been stabilized and he has returned home, but he continues to be focused on the complications of fighting this aggressive disease. In the spirit of Meta Science, Tom is pursuing alternative medicine approaches with good track records to battle this otherwise fatal disease.

Tom's priorities right now are appropriately his medical issues and ordering his personal affairs. Regrettably he has little time for his normally important science issues at the moment. The Meta Research Board of Directors is tending to organizational matters. Meanwhile, Tom is checking email intermittently as his treatments and condition permit. Please limit messages sent to Tom's Meta Research email account to urgent science/Meta Research issues ONLY. If you have a truly urgent message send it marked 'high importance' to the regular Meta Research mailbox, <tomvf@metaresearch.org>. Otherwise please hold your correspondence until further notice. Tom hopes to return his attention to Meta Research matters if and when his health improves.

We've received many inquires about Tom's condition and warm wishes from friends and colleagues. Thank you. Please send future well wishes to tomvf@wavecable.com. We value these emails and promise each will be read and passed on to Tom. Your support is important to him. We regret we will be unable to respond.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and assistance.

Mike Van Flandern (Tom's oldest son) for the Meta Research Board of Directors
