PRAYER REQUESTED BY EPOW

Original post here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1879625/posts?page=11#11

I am learning that cancer is a brutal enemy. My 41 year old son was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He's on chemotherapy and doing well on it so far thank God, although we aren't yet used to seeing him bald. His oncologist says his cancer is a type that usually responds well to chemo and that he has a very good 10 year prognosis.

One other problem is that he's an airline pilot, and according FAA rules he won't be able to fly a commercial aircraft until his cancer has been cured or in remission for one full year. Of course he has a mortgage and all the other usual bills that a family with 2 kids has, and his wife's small business will be their only source of income for at least a year after his sick pay runs out.

I have never asked for anything like this in the 9 years I have been Freeping, but I would greatly appreciate anyone who will join me in offering a prayer for his full recovery.

I join in urgent prayer for your son and all the family!

[oakcon]

Isn’t that what Fred Thompson had? He seems to be doing well now. Prayers that God will grant your son His healing power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[LantzALot]

Being in a similar situation, I can only offer advice that has served me well so far.

Your son has a form of cancer that responds well to chemo, and has a good outlook for ten years.

Part of the treatment and recovery will be not only the efforts of his doctors, but also his own attitude and outlook. Another positive in his favor is that he has family and friends who support him and are praying for his recovery. Keep him focused on those positive aspects, moving forward with the idea that he will be a survivor.

Let me add my prayers and well wishes.

[Smokin' Joe]

May Almighty God heal your son and make him whole, and see to all his needs and those of his family as well. I ask this in Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

[epow]

I don't know how to post to multiple accounts simultaneously so this may not get to everyone who I want to thank, but be assured that I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my hear who prayed for my son and our family at this time of need for God's healing hand both physically and spiritually. I am overwhelmed by the gracious outpouring of concern and prayer for a person who you only know by a pseudonym and a web forum persona. I am humbled by your prayers and well wishes.

I may not be on line for a few days. So for any others who may respond to this prayer request thread please let me assure you that all who have prayed and will pray for my son and his family in the future are also greatly appreciated, and you will be in our prayers whether I am able to thank you individually or not.

Praying for your precious son.

The LORD will lead his sheep like a Shepherd.
He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.
(The word in Hebrew refers to a table where the King dined....)

May He Bless you all as you walk before Him.

Lord of all, please help make this man and his family healthy and whole again.

May God hold your son close to Him now and guide those who care for him. May He give his family and friends peace and strength as they endure this trial with him. May He restore him to health in His service, in Jesus' name.

P.S. My first lung cancer diagnosis was in 1998, and it didn't return until 2005. I went back on my diet and juicing per directions of my daughter, who is an RN certified in oncology. If you would like details, please just Freepmail me.
