I've just been diagnosed with malignant carcinoid which has spread to the liver. Going for CT tomorrow to determine the extent of this thing. Please pray that we've found it in time and for my full recovery, and especially for strenght and comfort for my family.
Thank you.

done alnick...sff
Prayers for your complete healing going up!
Prayers going out for a quick recovery.
UPDATE: Well, it's been four months since I made this post asking for your prayers. I haven't updated much since then because I've been going for test after test, with most of them coming back negative, except for the seratonin level, which indicated that I still had carcinoid somewhere in my body, so I kept going in for more tests.
Well, this last week when I was being prayed for in church, again, we prayed that the tests come back negative, unless something is there, and in that case, let the test show where the tumor(s) is/are and let it be operable.
Well, God answered that prayer today. My latest CAT scan showed a small tumor in the ileum. I'm scheduled for surgery a week from tomorrow, and I'll be in the hospital for a week. The doctor expects I'll have a full recovery from the surgery and that there's a 50/50 chance I'll be cancer free following surgery.
He will biopsy the lymph nodes while he's in there, and if they're not cancerous, I should be home free!
So your continued prayers are requested for the success of the surgery and that my lymph nodes are healthy.
Thanks y'all, for all of your prayers.
I had a long ping list of everyone's names who replied on this earlier thread, but my computer crashed a few weeks ago and I had to reformat.
