Dear FReeper FRiends,
My son has recently found that out that he has lymphoma. He underwent surgery today and they completely removed one of his lymph nodes. It will be sent off for more tests to find out exactly what kind of cancer it is and how to treat it. It was first thought he had thyroid cancer, however, that's not being considered anymore.
I am in Texas and he is in San Diego at the Balboa Naval Medical Center. He was stationed on the USS George Washington and they were underway when he discovered the lump in his thyroid. They hit port in Australia and he was flown back to Japan they did few more tests and then he flew to San Diego where he is now. His wife is from there and he has in-laws and other relatives in SD. He is a very strong, courageous and capable young man.
We've also recently found out that he and his wife have their first baby on the way.
I've never been one to post on the prayer threads, but I do read them and I do pray for the individuals and their families. I believe whole-heartedly in the power of prayer.
Please pray for my son's speedy recovery.
Will do.
What a beautiful reply. Thank you.
Thanks.
It looks that way, EDINVA. Thanks.
FWIW worth I had lymphoma 28 years ago.It was Agent Orange related.I’m still rockin’ and rollin’.I will have a good thought for your son and hope that he has a nonaggressive type like I did.
Sending prayers to your son and his family. Also sending prayers your way as I know it’s so hard when one of kids has to go through something like this and you don’t live close to them.
Count on it my Brother!
Pray without ceasing (Thessaloninians)
Holy God,
We cry out to You on behalf of Your son, Al, and his wife, Lauren, petitioning You for the healing that only You can provide. We bless Your Holy Name and praise You for Your love for Your children and for Your steadfast watchcare over them. We know that Jesus Christ already paid the price for this disease on the cross. We confess that You hold this family in Your loving arms and that You will see them safely through this trial. Thank You, Father, for Al’s healing and for the safe arrival of the baby. You are the Holy One-—ever faithful-—ever present. Blessed are You, O God! In the powerful Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
I will remember both you and your son in my prayers.
Prayers needed, please.
Heartfelt prayers for complete healing.
God, try to remember that while you are Our Father, there’s a little kid who is going to be needing a Daddy in the flesh to be able to do Your Will in making sure that child has the best upbringing possible.
Prayers going up for your son, babyfreep. May God grant you the desires of your heart as you seek Him. Love, Maryxxx
