Dear FReeper FRiends,
My son has recently found that out that he has lymphoma. He underwent surgery today and they completely removed one of his lymph nodes. It will be sent off for more tests to find out exactly what kind of cancer it is and how to treat it. It was first thought he had thyroid cancer, however, that's not being considered anymore.
I am in Texas and he is in San Diego at the Balboa Naval Medical Center. He was stationed on the USS George Washington and they were underway when he discovered the lump in his thyroid. They hit port in Australia and he was flown back to Japan they did few more tests and then he flew to San Diego where he is now. His wife is from there and he has in-laws and other relatives in SD. He is a very strong, courageous and capable young man.
We've also recently found out that he and his wife have their first baby on the way.
I've never been one to post on the prayer threads, but I do read them and I do pray for the individuals and their families. I believe whole-heartedly in the power of prayer.
Please pray for my son's speedy recovery.
Continuing to pray that all will be well with your son and his little family, babyfreep. God bless your son to receive exactly the treatment needed in a timely manner to rid him of this disease, and restore him to good health.
Prayers for your son and family.
Continuing prayers for your dear
son ..God grant him skilled docs,
and robust recovery from his treatments.
God be with you all.
Love you and am praying for you.
Father God,

We lift up the coming baby for Your blessing.
Unite all the family in spirit and in truth as they surround this man with love and calm assurance.
We ask these mercies in the name of Jesus, our Messiah,
Amen!
Thank you for the update. Glad to hear the doctors have figured it out and are treating him right away. It sounds very hopeful.
Continued prayers for Al to recover quickly and completely in time for him and his wife to enjoy their new baby.
Praying fervently for you and your son.
Prayers for your son and family.
Continuing to pray.
I am in remission from multiple myeloma (a blood-borne cancer). You can FReepmail me if you want my cancer protocol. I believe I was healed by prayer and by a very unusual diet.
I am praying for your son. God bless you.
Please let me know on here or via FReepmail if you want information on anti-cancer nutrition. I am in remission from a blood borne cancer multiple myeloma and I am still on my diet. God bless you and prayers for your husband. Is there a prayer thread for him?
Update prayer ping for babyfreep
Prayers again for your son.
I had Hodgkins (stage 3B) about 20 years ago, and came through it all right after chemotherapy. I also had a portacath installed, because the injections were getting a bit much for my accessible veins to handle. That part was no big deal, IMHO. It went in and came out with no trouble.
As you say, non-Hodgkins lymphoma is likely more serious. But I’ve known of successful treatments. Prayers for a good outcome.
