Support a young soldier in NC

Posted on 11/01/2004 8:51:23 PM PST by chinkshady

This is a post for the son of a friend of mine. Marshall Info Site

Marshall was married July of last year, and 10 days later was deployed to Iraq. After serving 8 months in Iraq (and having a few of his friends killed in an ambush in Washington Post Article he returned to find out that he had not come home in perfect health

When he got back, he was diagnosed with stage 2 lymphoma and started chemo. He is now set to start daily radiation treatment... and in this hard and trying time, his support system of soldiers that have served with him have been redeployed.

If you are in the Ft Bragg/Fayetteville area, it would be awesome to show this young couple your support and to stand by them. His family lives in Colorado and not able to be with them as much as she would like.

He is struggling with the cancer but also with feeling and his duty to serve his country and fight along side his friends and fellow soldiers

I am from Oklahoma. Please tell that brave soldier that a man in Oklahoma is very grateful for his service and that I am praying for his recovery. May he grow old with his young bride and see his grandchildren's wedding days.

Does he have to drive very far to get these treatments?
Is he getting the treatments in the Fayetteville area or in the Raleigh-Durham area? Is there someone to help him with the drive?

Prayers are with him.

Please send out another prayer ping on this. They have found another tumor in his neck. It is a tumor that would have grown in the month since his chemo stopped.

The good news at this point is the tumor in his chest has shrunk 90% from the 97 centimeters it was originally in his chest

We praise God for the good news, and ask that the rest of the tumors are destroyed completely, and that Marshall is completely healed for the Glory of God.
