:-(
I hope you have a fast recovery! I'll be praying for you, Mark. Keep Wrocking on!
I wish for the best. And this is pathetic "get well soon. oh btw im first!!" Jeez. This is about cancer and yet you don't have the dignity to withstand the urge to write "first"? Goddamn. Okay, rant over.
Get better soon times :)
I hope everything goes well, and you have a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you.
Prayers & love Mark! Get Well Soon!
Mark, You can beat this. My husband is a cancer survivor going on 8 years now. You will be in our prayers. I know you can do this. You know all of the Potter fans are pulling for you.
You have a ,rather large, Wizarding Community pulling for you buddy. I hope ,in the end, everything turns out just fine. Good Magical Luck! :)
Get well soon, Mark! you are not alone!
Get well soon, Mark! Keep Wrocking! You'll get through this. Godbless.
Hope you make a full recovery Mark, get well soon. =)
this is a big fandom, mark. please remember how much you are loved just by the fact that you are one of the wonderful few who has done something extraordinary with the HP canon. we all love it... but you have the ability to interpret and put your own stamp on it, which i (and plenty others) enjoy and am thankful for. get some rest, cause we all hope to be seeing you wrocking out soon!
oh god how unfortunate :( i hope all is well top 20??
Great better soon, Mark! My prayers are with you. God bless. x
Get better soon! :)
get well soon, you can get through this!
I hope you'll get well soon... best wishes, I'm sure you can get through your desease!!!
Get well soon Mark!
Get well soon man. My cousin is a cancer survivor going on 4 years now. You can make it through this, just don't lose hope. @randomchat 7: I fully agree with you. I mean, what the hell does it matter that you're first, or 2nd, or top 10 and/or 20. I don't think these people have realized yet that they don't get anything special.
Get well soon, Mark! our prayers are with you.
Just know that you have tens of thousands of people thinking of you and keeping you in their prayers! One thing I've learned is that Harry Potter created a community that doesn't just concern their individual selves with these books, but they are a real community that cares for each other, I've learned that in my own way far more than many people. Those who run this site have learned that, and you as a Wizard Rocker have learned this. It's incredible and I know you will pull through with so many wonderful people supporting you every step of the way!! I wish you the best of luck, I know you will pull through this. I've had many friends and family members battle cancer, and yes, it is a battle, but keep fighting and never give up, remember that all of us are here thinking about you. I know you can beat this!! In my prayers, Stephanie
Sorry to hear that you are sick Mark, but to tell you the truth, I have never heard of your band or anyother wizard rock band, until today. So to make up for stupid closer to good music, I promise to listin to your band's music!!! GET WELL SOON!!!
Speedy recovery, Mark! You should make a video recording of yourself there just saying hi that you make before hand, just to make sure you are still there! I'm sure they would be accomodating with that.
I hope you get well very soon and have a quick recovery, Mark!!! You are definitely in my prayers tonight!!
Best wishes, Mark. Keep wrocking.
i've never heard of him or his band, but of course i wish him well. keep wrocking!
Get well soon! I had never heard of the band before, but I'm going to listen to it when I have time..The name sounds wicked!:) Keep Wrocking!
