So sorry to hear about this. Our thoughts are with both of you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Sincerely, ARNE & CARLOS

[@JB23274]

I echo Arne and Carlos’ eloquent message of support. So brave of you to make this video for your many fans. Now you must do what you need to do for your family. ❤️

[@tobeginwhereiam]

You are so cared for in the knitting community, please don’t ever worry that you are letting us down with programming. We have your back, we understand and we are rooting for you. Praying with much love and hope.

Yes! You could never disappoint us! I know you will handle this terrible news with the same grace you show in everything you do. I hold you both in my thoughts as "already beautifully healed".

[@gradyken]

Three years ago my life changed. I was diagnosed with cancer. The treatment caused insomnia. One night at about 2am as I was sitting in my comfy chair surfing the internet I stumbled across Fruity Knitting. My mother and grandmother had been fans of various "home arts" and as an only child I picked up a few things, including some knitting skills. As I started watching your videos, I was able to relax. I took up knitting to keep me occupied during the many hours in chairs resting from treatment or just fatigue. I am in remission today, though the odds are very high the cancer will return. I will use your videos and knitting to help me through the challenge. Of course I will continue my contribution. Do what you need to do and keep the faith - your army will do what it can to help you.

[@victoriapember8965]

My sister was diagnosed with cancer last June, she fought it and she is cancer free. Always fight, always have hope, take things day by day. God bless you!

[@carolg.6838]

How nice that Andrew and Andrea helped you and you are now helping them. I wish you all the best as well.

[@bettyherr6415]

My prayers are with you. My husband was given 2 weeks to live in 2007 and is still with me today. All things are possible. Just take one day at a time and live it to the fullest. You are greatly loved and a blessing to us all.

[@craftycapecodder8936]

As a long time viewer, let me say...I watched many an episode with Stage 3 cancer. Then Stage 4 cancer. I would fall asleep watching something happy. Later I would have to scroll back to where I remembered. I am 5’8” and dropped to 100 pounds. I could not hold my head up at night. I could no longer hold small needles so started knitting chunky scarfs. DR said to get my affairs in order, especially guardianship of my son. 5% chance of making it through the year. I have been cancer free for TWO years now. Thank you for being my piece of happiness when I was so sick. You both kept me company in the middle of the night when I was supposed to be sleeping. I really felt it was important to have something happy on while I dozed in and out. I wish some of your spectacular knitting skills rubbed off on my, but I tend to knit slowly and not so fancy. XO

Wonderful to hear of your recovery back to health.

[@elizabethbailey2762]

Dear Cape Codder, I am reading this as Andrew and Andrea announced Andrew’s diagnosis, but more than a year later. Cancer is such an insidious and awful disease. We never know from the point of diagnosis what the story of our journey with this illness will be or how our story ends. I am thrilled for your good health and I hope it continues! You came so close to your end but you fought back and thrived. I am a cancer survivor and I almost lost my life to a broken neck. Every day I wake up is a blessing and I am even grateful for any pain I feel because it reminds me I am alive! Keep doing what you are doing because it is working! God bless you and keep well! Yours, in needles and yarn, Lizzibet

[@aprillynnestudio]

Petitioning our Heavenly Father for your comfort, peace, and complete healing. You have become such treasures to us all!

[@gerickson9552]

We love you SO MUCH. You are family. The prayer warriors here will be lifting you up around the clock from around the world. We will stay positive and joyful on your behalf and we know our loving and almighty God will be fully present with you every minute of this journey. You do whatever you need to to take care of you. We’ll be fine. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@valeriehazel4858]

You are so right about the chances that Andrew will do well. A friend who found himself in a similar situation to Andrew’s was feeling glum when a friend came to visit him. She said “You’re thinking about the statistical chances of survival, aren’t you.” And he said “Yep, 5% at the end of 12 months, which may as well be zero.” She said “That’s where you’re wrong. Statistics aren’t telling your story, because statistically, you shouldn’t have cancer in the first place. You’re fit, a healthy weight, have never smoked, have a good family and everything else that should mean that you are extremely unlikely to get cancer at your age. So forget the statistics and concentrate on all the things that contribute to recovery.” She told him to see if he could make 5 people laugh every day. Four years on he is still fine (and still making people laugh). Andrew and Andrea, you have brought us so many gifts and I hope you know how much you are loved.

[@FruityKnitting]

That's an encouraging story, thank you

[@daniellesnyder1244]

What a beautiful reply. Statistics only go so far. They can’t determine an individual’s path. Praying for you both and for Andrew’s healing, for peace and comfort, and financial support. I wish I could help financially, but have chronic health issues and we are struggling ourselves. But I will absolutely be praying for you all. What a sweet family. 💕

[@eileen8481]

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am a Patreon and you, for sure, can count on my continued support. I want to add, my ex was told he wouldn’t live out the year with his inoperable tumor - and 20 years later he is doing good.

[@marilyn1228]

I feel absolutely sick about this and will light candles, cross any part of my body that will cross, and pray for you.....this is so unfair. I cried, and I'm not a crier. I don't know if you realize this, but you four are so very loved and in everyones' hearts.

I can clearly see an army of knitters lining the hilly paths of Wales as a miraculously healed Andrew walks past them smiling and waving. They all wear the most delicious sweaters, mittens and scarves and like me are glad they didn’t have to worry about covid travel restrictions or expensive plane tickets to get there, all they had to do was shut their eyes and pray.

The reason why I kept watching you wasn't actually the knitting content. Most of all it was the possitivity and visible love between you two that kept me attracted.

My fellow knitters, the bell for help has been rung. We will answer the need. I challenge each of us garment knitters to donate $.50 cents per row of knitting during the month of November. Your holiday knits will take on a blessed and special meaning. Perhaps include a card with each gift, telling the recipient the purpose of the donation that grew out of knitting their gifts. May God richly bless Andrew and Andrea.

[@alessia6116]

This is news nobody here would have ever wanted to hear. I still find it hard to believe it. Science and medicine does not know it all, there are things in nature that are unbelievable. I do hope that Andrew’s journey through this will be one of those cases that medicine won’t be able to explain. I am already sending my best vibes and thoughts for your healing. You are making the best knitting show there is on KZbin. Because you are two of the best people doing it. Try not to care too much about episodes now. Concentrate on this new journey. Be strong.❤️

I'm so saddened to hear the news. Just the worst. I am also an Australian and live in Sydney. Can I suggest you contact Dr Charlie Teo. He is a renowned and revered neurosurgeon who is renowned for taking on cases that other surgeons won't take on. I won't say anymore, but please just google him. With love, Kathy

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Kathy

[@knmplans]

My grandmother was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in the early 80’s. She died maybe 20 years later in her late 70’s. She managed to exceed the “average” lifespan for a healthy female. This isn’t to give false hope, she had her challenges. But accepting life might look different from now on makes all the difference. Change is hard, but not impossible, and a happy life looks different for everyone. My grandparents had a very happy marriage, my grandmother needed help and my grandfather loved being needed. ❤️

You two are the embodiment of graciousness in sharing such difficult news with us, your adoring fans. Meeting you both at Shetland Wool Week 2018 was certainly a high point for me. It is apparent that you both strive for quality of life (and you have certainly enhanced it for all of us via Fruity Knitting). Towards that end, and speaking as an experienced palliative medicine nurse practitioner, please investigate palliative care while you are walking this new path. It will aim to maximize quality of life for Andrew, as well as for Andrea, Madelaine, and all those closest to you. You have my best wishes and prayers. Godspeed.

[@tracycharalambous5223]

Sending you both a huge hug. You're both so brave. You have lots of knitting support all over the world. You're devastated now but you'll find strengths you didn't know you had. I know because my husband is also fighting an incurable cancer. After the initial shock comes a choice. To give in or to live. We chose to live & have done & lived alot together for almost 3.5yrs. That's time we shouldn't have had. We're still fighting & living & so will you. Love your programmes, so inspiring. We'll all still be here whenever you're ready to join us.

[@noushinniknafs8243]

Dear Andrew and Andrea, What incredibly sad news to hear. I have only been an occasional viewer of your podcast, but have enjoyed every bit of it, and will happily be a patron. However, I have another suggestion as well. We, as your viewers, are saddened that you will have to face anxiety resulting from financial insecurity while having to adapt to the changes to your lifestyle and focusing on Andrew's health. It seems that a gofundme campaign might be a good idea in the sense that it will provide some margin of support beyond the monthly subscriptions, and hopefully bring some peace of mind with regards to money matters. This will help us to do our bit in a very small way. To other viewers: If you agree with the suggestion above and are willing to contribute to the campaign, please like this comment so that we can encourage Andrew and Andrea to pursue this option.

I KNOW what you, or I should say, Andrea, is going through right now. Our daughter was diagnosed with an "inoperable" brain tumor on her brain stem when she was 24 years old. She was given only 2-5 months to live, but she WAS operated on at Barrow's Neurological Institute in Arizona and she lived for over five years. Let me say that I was SO happy to hear you ask for our prayers. You have already been a WONDERFUL witness to your faith, which is a GREAT result of a HORRIBLE circumstance. We will continue to pray for comfort, strength and confidence in Him for your family and of course, for a miracle for Andrew.

[@alezapata5950]

Andrew and Andrea, I found you during a most difficult year, I was diagnosed in 2019 with Ovarian cancer while helping my father during his chemo/immunology treatments for his stage iv. You can imagine the stress...but you were there to brighten my days. Surround yourself with positive thoughts, activities that you love and positive people. I believe in the power of prayer, and in miracles. Today my father and I are cancer free. I pray for you, for your family, and for your medical team. You will heal!!! Because you smile with your soul, because you have a noble heart, because life has something greater waiting for you, and because through it all, you shine brightly!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!

As many others have said, never apologise for not being able to produce the same amount of content as you usually do. And please don’t apologise for crying..it’s an outlet that is needed. My thoughts of positivity are with you all. My patronage will not stop even if you don’t podcast...health far outweighs our entertainment. You will be in my thoughts 💙

This definitely is a shock, and I’m so sorry you are faced with this challenge. Miracles still happen every day though and I will be praying in anticipation of yours! Take of yourselves. Everything else can wait.

I am so very sorry. Yes - absolutely - Andrew's health & well being - is the most important focus for all of you at this time. You have contributed so much to the knitting community and beyond. I have no doubt that you will continue to receive support from all your fans and supporters, including me. My thoughts are with you.

So very sorry to hear this news. My mother had what sounds like the same thing. She lived 11 years after her diagnosis that told her 3 years max. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I have only started watching you two for about 6 months and so enjoyed hearing Australian voices on a knitting show, it was just so fantastic. But today is so heart breaking to hear of Andrews condition, I've been crying all through the episode. Andrew just emanates something gentle and humble into the world, it's so palpable. I will be send Reiki healing to Andrew from over here is Australia with confirming thoughts of complete recovery. My love to you both

Andrew and Andrea, you have blessed our community so much, thank you! I will be keeping you in my prayers. God bless

Dear Andrew and Andrea, First! Of course, we understand. Of course! Second: Take very good care of each other and yourselves, personally. As a person with a chronic illness that can take me out of life for weeks on end, your health is your number one priority. I am also a Type A personality and it takes daily practice to allow myself to be guilt-free and take care of myself. Feeling positive about your choices will encourage healing, feeling guilty will not. Both of you are enough, you really are. Lastly: Everything will be okay. It will. I will imagine both of you walking the countryside with ease and joy. I will send positive healing energy while smiling. Stay present. It will be okay. A Fruity Knitting Patron Forever!!!

Oh darlings. Andrea looking at the floor and just trying to keep it together.. I can’t imagine. There will days when you just turn on the shower sit on the floor and cry. And thats ok. So many prayers to all 3 of you. Just take things day by day. We adore you. I’ve had life altering health things come up in my life. Shorter shows might help you a great deal. AND Andrew will need something to help him like he isn’t just sitting knitting and not being him. Take the time you need , do what you need to do . We are all here for you . CRY CRY CRY CRY. All you need. We all see you as friends and we would be there talking to you if we could be.

I so hope you find a treatment to beat this cancer. You are both such lovely people, your kindness and humour shine through every episode. I am encouraging anyone I know who watches you to become a patron or make a contribution, it’s the least we can do to help. I wish we could more. With hugs and prayers, J.
