Folks, Phil has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, they caught it early and the prognosis good.

Much love to the great man.

From Phil's web site:

Phil had surgery on Tuesday, December 5th at the
Vattikuti Urology Institute at the Henry Ford Hospital in
Detroit, Michigan, the leading center for prostate cancer
and urology health in the US. The Vattikuti Institute
developed the robotic surgery method used for Phil's surgery,
treats people from all over the world, and teaches the
methodologies they have developed to many other doctors.

His surgery went very well, although he did require blood
transfusions. He is already out of the hospital and is healing well.

The Unbroken Chain Foundation is asking phans to donate blood
this month in honor of Phil. In honor of your commitment, UBC will
donate $10.00 to the Vattikuti Urology Institute for every pint
donated through December 31st, 2006 (to a maximum of $50,000).

After you have donated, please send an email to
donor@phillesh.net with the subject "I Gave Blood".
Please include your name, blood bank name, city, and state.

Thank you for your love and support.
Phil looks forward to being back making music with you soon.

PLEASE GIVE BLOOD!
