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).
Praise God.
Prayers for healing lifted!
Heavenly Father,
Bless your child Appalachian_Dweller. Giving him full and rapid healing of his body. Bless his friends and family and give him and them strength in body, mind, and spirit.
Amen.
Praying you have a full recovery Appalachian_Dweller.. I’ve been FReeping on and off since 2005. I remember your name. God bless you and thank you for being a FReeper.
Hi Folks. Thank you all so much for the prayers. They are working. Met with the pulmonary specialist today. He asked a lot of questions about past jobs, places I traveled to, if I have any pet birds. I think he ruled out the necrotic infection. It’s more likely cancer. Not the greatest news, but until the biopsy they won’t know for sure.
As for the prayers working: it just so happened that there was a cancellation so I was able to get more tests run tomorrow instead of waiting a week. The Power of Prayer!
The doc wants to do an internal biopsy, go down the trachea so he can get a better look at what’s going on, then access the mass that way. It requires general Anesthesia. If they go through the chest wall it only takes a local.
Thank you all so very much for the prayers and concern!
Thanks for the update! You sound like a real trooper. More prayers on the way!
Thank you for your update. Many blessings to you, and I’ll be praying for you every day.

You are on my daily prayer list.
Hugs to you.
Prayers are continuing, both for diagnosis and healing, but also for your state of mind. This can be scary stuff.
Of course, all the best to you and it sounds like your docs are all over this and getting you the right care.
Lifted Up !
If you can, when you find out what it specifically is, please tell me so I can do some study research for advanced treatment opportunities.
Lord Jesus, grant full recovery to Thy servant.
In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
