Did you read Post #108? There's a very good possibility that he is in the arms of the Lord.
Yes, I read that post of his the day he wrote it. I was just hoping that perhaps someone would have some good news. Thanks for replying, B4.
Hello Everyone,
Just a short note to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes...and to update you on my situation.
After surgery and a many-day stay in intensive care due to post-surgical complications, I was finally discharged from the hospital. I am in a respectable amount of pain, but that does not in any way diminish the keen joy I feel at being home again.
But for the news...
First, it is confirmed: the cancer is malignant. The surgeons removed 2/3rds of my pancreas, the entirety of my spleen, and my gall bladder, but they are not entirely sure that they got all the cancer. Only time will tell.
Second, the type of cancer is even more rare than previously supposed. It would seem I am the first documented case of this type of cancer.
Though I'm easily tired, moving significantly slower than usual, and scarcely able to tend to my own needs, I am nonetheless at peace.
The Good Lord has been kind in His benevolence and, if it is His will, I will not only survive this crisis, but prevail.
Thanks again for all your prayers. Even in the darkest hours in intensive care, I never felt alone. Your prayers and the kindness of the Lord saw to that. And for that, I am eternally grateful.
I can't predict when I'll be online next, but I hope it will be soon...and with greater vigor.
