Ryan,
I would like to second what has been said here. Keep posting, and let us know how you feel. I think what makes EN World great is its sense of community. You, like everyone else on these boards, are a valued member of our online community.
Thalmin, your point about people who don't pity others is well taken. It reminds me of a saying that I like to quote. (I am tempted to use it in my sig.)
"If I am not for myself, who will be. If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?" -- Hillel.
To me, this means that I should consider my own needs and wishes while being concerned about others. By starting this thread, you have shown a great deal of insight and concern about others on these boards. The last bit of the saying, by the way, remings me to take action on important things -- including being compassionate to others. (Thus endeth my philosophical musings.)
Hang in there, Ryan. I hope one day to see you at an EN World gathering. You seem to be a remarkable human being, who is trying to face adversity with courage and dignity. It is a pity that some cannot see this in you.
You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Peace.

Just like everyone else here, I say, Ignore them! Keep posting- seems like the vast majority here wanna know how you're doing, and would like a place to offer you support besides.
That's me in a nutshell.
Speaking as someone who's hung out with Angelsboi, he's a great guy- it's really silly to whine about his updates. Or, in the famous words of Storminator, can we get a seperate forum for Hivemind posts? Or a way to stick them to the second page? There's enough drivel on the Internet as it is.

I'm not going to say I enjoy reading your posts, because that's not the right words. But I hope you keep posting them, because you're another person on these forums that's intelligent, opinionated and good to talk to, and I truly hope you pull through.
Best wishes from London, mate.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread. I'm pretty sure that Ryan knows by now that we love 'im, and want him around here! 
But I do want to close on one other note, too: Let's not take our respect and concern to the point of name-calling other posters, either. People who don't have an interest in this subject have a right to be here, too, just like they have the right NOT to read and comment in threads they don't care about.
Ryan, keep on truckin' - er, posting.
edited because someone pointed out that my Southern aphorism was not the most appropriate. My apologies.
