I went in to ******* last week and had a private cat
scan done and later that day saw my surgeon. We looked
at the cancer tumor, on my liver, on the cat scan and
he told me he will be able to operate on it. It was 4
cm which is quite big as these things go. I have a
June 30 operating date but they say they will move me
up if they get a cancellation. I went to another
doctor on Friday and he says there is really no other
options beside surgery as chemo and radiation do not
work well with this kind of tumor. I was very happy
to hear they could operate and was grateful. I feel
pretty good other then being tired most of the time.
My treatment is going well and I am not getting
to many side effects. If want pray for me here are a
couple of requests
1. That the cancer would not spread
2. That my surgery date would be moved up
So thats the news
Friend (I will tell you his name in private if you want to contact me)

This is one of my longest and best friends.
He has been dedicated to serving others, both as a missionary, in Mexico and South America, and here in Canada, where he helped me to turn my life around 8 years ago when I battled some personal demons. This part of his life is not related to his spiritual beliefs as a missionary, but only as a caring human being, and I was fortunate to run into him here after growing up in the same city 20+years ago.
He has survived being captured and getting almost fatally wounded (laceration to the neck, fill in the blanks) 4 years ago doing peaceful work.
I don't know if it helps, but it sure can't hurt if you would like to think good thoughts and pray for a selfless human being ... who won't even admit much but..I see it in his eyes.
I think others here who would like support or guidance in times of pain should feel free to post here whenever they want, or start their own thread.
I met pete61uk in a post like this for his friends, and I am forever grateful to have been able to lend morale support, and get a friend out of the deal.
Let's help each other, and at the same time, make this tiny corner of the internet stand for triumph.
Thank you all.
