There is a really great reason to read MCN and that is Kim Voynar. After she left Cinematical, she was quickly scooped up by David Poland – it was an amazing get for him. Voynar was a great addition to Cinematical and she is always worth checking out at MCN. Her most recent column reveals that on her way to the Toronto Film Festival she found herself in a hospital room with a terrible diagnosis: pancreatic cancer.
She has decided to continue blogging on MCN with her column Voynaristic and will also do what she does so well: write about movies.
I was upset by this news, for sure. I’d hoped the Toronto docs were wrong, that all of this would turn out to be nothing much. But oddly, my control-freak self feels much stronger and calmer now that I at least know what I’m up against. Now that I know what’s wrong, we can make a plan and I can fight it. I’m not afraid anymore of the bone marrow test tomorrow, or the surgery, or whatever else gets thrown my way.
We wish her all the best in her fight.
