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.
Prayers for a complete recovery.
Prayers up, my friend!
May the Lord bless and heal your son completely of this affliction. Asked in your loving name, Lord Jesus. Amen

I just know he will be fine and you'll have a new little grand baby to love and cherish as well.

Loving God, we come with our petition for a healing. We lift up to you, Al and Lauren and all of their family, including the baby who is forming. We ask your presence in the treatment that Al receives. May the disease be something that can be quickly contained and cured. We thank you, Lord, for all that you will do for this family. We glorify you and praise you as we await your attention to our petition. In the name of our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
My husband was just diagnosed with lymphoma. We'll lift them up in prayer together!
God bless your son. He has access to excellent health care. He has a lot of people praying for him. I have a feeling he’ll come through this very well. I’m adding my prayers to the mix.
Prayers up for your husband.
Your son and his wife and their new addition are ALL in my prayers. May God protect them all.
Prayers up.
