It's Cancer....could I get a few prayers?
« on: February 09, 2007, 10:48:00 AM »
All,


                After two specialists, it looks as though I have testicular cancer. The docs are 95% sure. I have went through all of the tests, blood work, ultrasound, and exams. Basically, the next step is to get in there, take it out, and send it off to be analyzed. The great thing is that the Doc thinks it is isolated.

I never expected this kind of news (no one does). At this point, I believe I am past the initial shock and in the reactive mode.

The surgery will be next Thursday. I ask for your prayers that all goes well and nothing has spread. I believe in the power of prayer and thank you for any you can send down range for me.

As always,

Gunney we will be praying. Had a friend go through the same thing. He almost didn't make it because of the reaction to the cemo. They took him off it before he was done with it. The cancer had spread to his liver and grew to the point it collapsed one of his lungs. They did an MRI on him after he had stabilized and appeared to be doing better and there wasn't anything there. This took place over a 1 1/2 month period. Jesus can, does, and will heal. Keep your eyes on Him.
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

Prayers up,from Nv
Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

Keep the Son in your eyes, Gunney.

All things are possible through Christ! prayers for full healing and excellent surgical results!
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

Gunny my friend that is terrible news.  Doc says it best, keep the Son in your eyes.  Praying for a tough Marine on a tough assignment. Trusting in Gods healing.

Prayers sent, Gunney.  Bad news but with a little help from above you can make it "just another chapter in your book".

WHAT CANCER CAN NOT DO

Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot destroy peace.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot suppress memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot conquer the spirit.

praying for you, Gunney.

Isn't that the same trial Lance Armstrong went through????  

Prayers now and each day for HIS healing hand to be on you.

Heavenly Father Forgive me my sins and hear my simple prayer. Heal my brother Billy Stewart, guide the physicians hands and minds. You are the Great Physician, All disease is to you is a simple malady. The name of it has no bearing on your healing ability. I stand on the promises of your word and ask your will be done in this. We give you the thanks the praise and all the glory in Jesus Holy and precious name I pray, Amen
