Well, just got back from the doc and he says it is esophageal cancer and I will be facing one or more surgeries, chemo and whatknot--
I’m a little over a year from the end of treatments for breast cancer. I remember that feeling. I remember how when I heard the “C” word, my mind went blank. I remember wishing it was anything BUT cancer. You are not alone. There are many who will be praying for you, like they prayed for me and helped me through this dark time. Please let me know if I can be of service, even if it’s just lending an ear.
You’re in my prayers... we’re all here if you want to talk it through. Sometimes that helps.
Praying that the Good Lord will lead and guide your doctors and that you will have strength and courage as you do through this.
Please keep us posted. We care

Prayers up. Please stay calm and know that freepers are thinking of you.
Absolutely you have my prayers.
I had chronic myloid leukemia and was told I was in “blast” phase and to get my affairs in order.
This was in 1990.
I firmly believe that the thousands of prayers I received from friends and strangers alike were a necessary part of my healing.
So I pray that your are comforted and healed by prayers during your battle.
Praying that the Lord will make you entirely well. I know it’s no fun getting that word. Bless you FRiend.
We don’t know you personally, but we care. Friends and support systems are more important than ever now.
Peace and God bless to you.
Prayers for you.
Praying for you and your family.
You’ve got it.
Prayers to you and hopes that your cancer has been caught in early stage(s).
Just underwent my fourth upper endoscopy on Tuesday to treat my narrow esophagus. Thank the Lord, I’ve been clean so far.
Perhaps, strawberries and other diet and nutritional changes will enhance and speed your recovery.
Hope you have good support from family and friends.
Keep your FR family posted on how you’re doing.
Hang in there.
71 and now 90% of the way through treatment and surgery for stomach csncer. You can do this.
I will freepmail you later.
Prayers for your healing.
Prayers ascending.
