My Friends

I hope it is ok to write this here. I only have 2 friends on the outside (ptsd, dont go nowhere.) I consider you guys my friends. Some of you have helped me before.
A couple of weeks ago I asked for prayer (from those it dont offend) for a biopsy. It came back cancer. I dont smoke or anything and am only 49 but I got cancer. The VA said they must operate very soon and even with surgury, I will only have a 50-50 chance.
If any of you guys got any pull with the Commander In Chief upstairs, or wish to add me to your church/group prayer list, I would be very obliged. Thank you in advance and I hope I didn't offend anyone.

PS I STILL wanna come to the convention, if its the last thing I do.

Sarge, that's really terrible. I lost my baby sister in January to cancer, at the age of 42. 5 weeks after her birthday actually. Same day the community lost Dave. Brother, I've been to 4 funerals since. My sister being the first. So i'll use what diplomatic leverage I have with the Divine Providence and pray that it makes a difference for you and yours.

If you want to, you can contact the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, and a few other places that do things outside the box, from the standard treatments the rest of the medical world uses.

Good luck with this! Keep the spirits up, even when it seem like it's the worst.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Of all my family my little sister is the one I'm closest to.

Good advice from all, Sarge. You'll be in my family's prayers as well.

Whatever you do, don't give up the fight. Having lost my father when he was 47 to Lymphoma and fighting the same myself (in remission after 3 years of chemo), I know that the diagnosis is one that will scare the crap out of you. The numbers that a doctor gives you are just that, numbers. You can change that number with a positive attitude and a will to fight. Do just that and say thanks for each day that you have.

Almost forgot, keep that sense of humor, it will sustain you more than you know.

My family, friends, and Ill try to get my 'church' to pray for you as well.

Being a fellow sufferer of skin cancer (too many days in the sun as a youth) I know the apprehension you are going through.

Good luck !

Thank God for a sense of humor. Sometimes that's all we have to get us through.

And thank you for your service.

Sarge
I'm certainly going to do this, Sir, and will pray for you.
Thanks for letting us know, Sir, cause it's better not to keep this kind of thing to yourself. Keep faith, and hold out hope.

Respectfully,


Alex

First...now there is a piece of advice I would urge you to heed...



Second...since I retired in 1997 I have been making and distributing Rosaries to missions around the world free of charge. There are literally thousands praying around the clock and around the world using my Rosaries. If I have earned any grace what-so-ever by this I gladly pass it on to you. I will ask that those praying to add your personal healing intention to their prayers also.

Third...another good piece of advice from above...fight with a strong will to survive this...


Forth...Good luck to you...
