Wanted to let all my pinball friends know that I just got off the
phone with Python Anghelo, who has been very sick unbeknownst to
anyone...He has been battling stage 4 cancer but he wanted everyone to
know that he is back and looking forward to Pinball Expo in Chicago.
Some may have seen him there last year, and knowing what I know now
explains alot...He was pretty sick and was not feeling well at all.

Here is a short interview done by some folks from Discovery Channel
earlier this year when he was told he wouldn't be here at this time.
Thankfully his most recent check ups have been encouraging and he is
off the chemo and radiation and he is feeling much better now and says
he is drawing again, and that his hair is starting to grow back, and
that he will have hair by Expo and he is looking forward to seeing
everyone there!

Sorry to hear Python has been having health problems, but I'm glad
things are looking up for him. It was really nice seeing a lot of his
artwork in the video that I had never seen before. I see a lot of the
Police Force concept in many of those animal drawings.

I'm looking forward to seeing him at Expo and hearing some more
interesting stories, ideas and opinions from him. :)

That's *awesome* to hear! Thank you for updating us.

Yeah I knew that something was up, just couldn't put my finger on exactly what.

Yay, Python! Happy to see another survivor!:

Not to hijack the thread, but my mom got a Whipple procedure for
pancreatic cancer 6 weeks ago, and it looks like she's going to be
fine. They caught it early since the tumor blocked a bile duct and
turned her yellow with jaundice. They said they got it all, just some
light chemo yet to make sure. She turns 75 today, coincidentally.
Happy Birthday, Mom!

The hair doesn't matter. Bald or Wolfman Jack-style it would be good to see him there.
