I received a FRmail tonight from Freeper kayak regarding a health issue that her doctors have discovered. Some of you, apparently, are already aware of this. I DO have her permission to put this thread up. She will not be on here to respond as she's still working and will be starting treatments.
Anyway, from kayak....Several weeks ago as part of my routine annual physical I had a chest x-ray. When it came back showing some suspicious shadows, the doc ordered a CT scan which also showed the shadows. So last week I had a bronchoscopy and got the results on Monday.
I have lung cancer. The good news is that of the 2 kinds I have the least aggressive kind and it can usually be removed surgically. The bad news is that because of the location of the cancer it can't be gotten to surgically without doing damage to parts I need.
So I'm facing a regimen of chemo and radiation probably. Monday I have an appointment with an oncologist to begin planning how we're going to attack this thing.
Please PLEASE pray for kayak!!!
Dear Lord God, our hearts are heavy tonight with this news from kayak. She is a dear lady who loves you with all of her heart. Thank you for giving her so VERY many prayer warriors, thank you for giving her a WONDERFUL husband who has been nothing but 100% supportive of her.
Lord, I pray for a "Logan Miracle". Lord, please heal her body. Please guide the medical personnel who will be helping her through this. Please give her YOUR peace. Peace that passes all understanding.
In Your Name,
Amen!

Thank you for the update ping. I will keep praying; I sent this on to some faithful praying friends and also to my church's intercessory group.
For you, dear one, and your family, I offer this prayer...
Creator of heaven and earth, help us to turn over our lives to you. In all times be with us, freeing us from concerns about control & easy answers. Command our hearts to the place you desire for us, and for the love of the One who is to come. For it is your transforming love which turns night into day, lifts us beyond anything we have known, & nourishes us through all our lives.
Kayak and Mr. Kayak: My most fervent prayers for you sweet kayak and for your dear husband. May this season of miracles touch your lives.
I'll be lighting a candle and saying a prayer in the morning, Kayak.
Good to talk with you. :-)
Bless you Kayak.
I will be praying for a good outcome for Mrs. Kayak. For both of you, for strength, courage, and peace of mind. For the doctors, that their skills in doing this surgery will be excellent and effective. For all the medical personnel, that their expert care will help your wife to be able to come home for Christmas.
May God surround you both with bands of holy angels and keep you in His loving care.
Thank you Gretchen....
Prayers for Kay that the docs make her well with God's help.
May Your Sweet, Gentle Presence Comfort and Sustain Your Child, Dear Father-God. Thank You for Thy Peace that Fills and Surrounds Thy Lamb. We Praise You for Your Help and Your Strength. 'Jehovah is my Rock, my Fortress and my Savior.' (2Sam.22:2) 'I Walk in the Strength of the Lord God.' (Ps.71:16) Hold these Dear Ones in the Hollow of Your Hand. Shelter them, our Great King of Saints, as we Pray in our Shepherd's Name, amen.
