Open request for prayers regarding an OLD TIME Freeper: Appalachian_Dweller has just this day been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He has no health insurance and he’s a 55 year old former smoker. He is one of my closest friends and has had a mighty influence on this site, even though neither one of us has been here recently. When I first met him, here, back in the late 1990’s, we began a friendship that eventually led to a meeting and then an extended stay as our guest in our home in Miami, Florida along with his wonderful pup, Clyde (since crossed the Rainbow Bridge).

Bear in mind, I believe they reopened enrollment at Heathcare.gov, so if he enrolls now, he will have healthcare, free if he needs it, starting in one week.

Make him go there tonight and sign up. It is complicated, and he may have to call for help, but he can also call and ask to get enrolled over the phone, he just has to insist on it.

Drive to his house, and force him to get on the phone.

Prayers for Aan OLD TIME FReeper FRiend, for healing, restoration of lung tissue, freedom from habits, and a long life in jesus Name, Amen.

Thank you all so very much for all the prayers. I’m so very touched, your prayers give me comfort and strength.

I went to the ER today for severe camps that started Wednesday. The chest X-ray showed a mass about 1.5 inches in diameter. The doc looked really worried, said based on the shape he was 90% sure it was cancer. After a CT the doc looked a bit relieved, said it could be a necrotic infection, whatever that is. Sounds like something out of a zombie movie. LOL!

The cramps were caused by severe inflammation of the stomach and esophagus (most likely caused by extended use of ibuprofen). Finding the mass on my lung was a complete surprise.

The oncologist is going to call me first thing Monday to schedule a biopsy. Find out what this thing is and what can be done about it.

Again, THANK YOU all so much for the prayers and well wishes. I like to think of myself as a tough guy but every time I read the thread my eyes start leaking.

Been a long day so I’m going to get some sleep.
My The Lord Bless Us All,

I will definitely keep everyone updated with how things go.

Please tell your friend I am thinking of him and prayers are on the way. May the doctors soon find an avenue for bringing him back to full health.

And I salute you for being a loyal friend.
God bless you both.

FATHER GOD,

Healer, Great Physician, draw close to Appalachian_Dweller (co ExSoldier) at this time. May he draw close to You and bask in Your perfect love. Perfect love casts out fear.

May Appalachian Dweller feel Your rest and peace, and may HOLY SPIRIT cleanse him from cancer. Cancer has a name and Scriptures say every knee must bow to the NAME of JESUS. In the NAME of JESUS we rebuke you, cancer, and cancel the assignment you have over, Appalachian_Dweller (co ExSoldier) We declare by JESUS stripes he is made whole.

To GOD be the glory. Great things He has done.

In JESUS Name we pray. AMEN.
