For a long time now, Drew Holden and his spot-on, impressive, receipt-filled threads have been a Twitchy staple. If we needed to find a way to explain an event or a story to our readers, we could always rely on Drew having some sort of thread we could use …
We had noticed he’d been quiet for a bit, so when this thread from him crossed our timeline, it all made sense.
Please read:
I know I’ve been quiet on here for a while.
Long story short, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I recently finished chemotherapy and started radiation.
The prognosis is really good, but as I’m sure you can imagine it’s been a slog.
Quick personal 🧵

Thank God the prognosis is good.
Keep reading.
The type of tumor I have is really treatable but that treatment entails chemo and radiation.
It’s responded really well so far – which is great news – but I’m not out of the woods yet. I appreciate any and all prayers if you can spare them.

You’ve got ’em, Drew.
I’m hoping to be back in action soon, if all goes well with treatment.
For those who have thought that I’m being throttled or shadow banned, I promise, I just haven’t been tweeting (or writing or talking) very much as I go through this.

In all I’ve been really, really fortunate. My girlfriend has been my rock throughout all this. I’ve got a great support system – especially my family – which has been an enormous blessing throughout this.
I couldn’t have made it this far without them.

Also, I can’t overstate how great @FreeBeacon has been throughout this process. They’ve been incredibly supportive and patient. I can’t thank them enough for that.

And of course, there’s Drew being kind and considerate to others, even as he shares his own story.
Told you guys, he’s a gem.
And as you can imagine, navigating the medical system is really challenging and, all too often, really expensive.

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about all this, but for now I’m sorry for all the missed DMs, and please know that, all things considered, I’m doing well.

All our prayers, Drew.
🙁 I am sad to hear this, but glad to hear there is good news on the horizon and I will be praying for you.
