I'd posted earlier only saying a "friend" but got permission to be forthcoming today.
Tom Kidwell, previously from VA, and author of several trad archery books on hunt stories, developed prostate cancer living in OK.
It's very aggressive form, type 5 or something... he's waiting for a surgical appt and was moved up on the waiting list to use the new robotic process with less nerve damage and 1/2 the recovery time.
He's hoping for a early March surgical date and appreciates prayers.
He has written books on "Old Bowhunter" a sequel, Another Old Bowhunter, and then a hogs in america book.
Thanks for any prayers offered up for Tom.
