Espi (Esa Repo), one of DooM's most respected mappers, has epithelioid sarcoma on his arm. This is a rare type of cancer, and is virtually untreatable. He reported that he was going to have surgery to remove his arm last Friday. This is terrible news in general, of course, but it strikes a blow to the DooM community - as a result of his surgery Espi will not be able to work on his computer (at least for quite a while) and will not be able to continue with his DooM mapping endeavors.

Join me in wishing Espi the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.

Yeah, because that's something we care about right now?

Espi: I hope you get well fast and not let this pull you down.

Oh man. I really hope he pulls through.

I'm sadder for the man than for the maps, though those are another great loss.

My grandmother is going through treatment for a fast-growing cancer in the brain...we are seriously hoping it succeeds in putting the cancer down.

Anyway, I hope everything goes well for Espi. It is too bad that he can no longer map, but as long as he can recover and continue to live well then the maps are a small matter.

I dearly hope that it hasn't spread past his arm. I can't imagine how it would be to just lose use of your arm, and even the whole limb. Being on a computer is not even an issue compared to some routine tasks in one's day that most of us consider easy, will now possibly become difficult and frustrating for him.

Espi, I wish you the best in recovering from this. Good luck!

I hope he pulls through, and if he does that he is able to function without his arm. This really sucks bad...

Screw doom. I'm sure he has much more important things on his mind then doom at the moment.

Eh yeah but this is how most of us here know Espi is through his art, so it's kinda important too.

This is really unfortunate, but I agree with Use. Espi has created some of the most beautiful works for Doom, and this community knows him best through his contributions. Of course we wish him the best and put his personal interests above our want for his works... but that doesn't mean we also can't be sad to lose his wonderful contributions for the mean time.

I hope everything turns out the best it can, Espi :(
