Time to call out the Big Guns.
Some of you have heard thru FReepmail that a week and a half ago a mass was found during a routine chest X-Ray. 2 days later they did a CT Scan. Yesterday I had a Biopsy done. I just got off the phone with my Doctor.
I have cancer.
Specifically, Adenocarcinoma. More tests need to be done to determine the stage and if it is just the one tumor or if it has spread.
Please include me in your Prayers that this can be treated.The most powerful weapon I can employ in this fight is Prayer.
Prayers lifting FRiend, for peace and comfort. And for a few specific politicians to get what is coming to them - small smile.
Dear Lord, please hold this one even closer.
Tatt
God bless you!!!! We’re with you
Praying for you Petruchio.
Hang in there and keep fighting! Where there is life, there is hope. I’ll be praying for you as well. My brother in law (I have stepsisters and a stepbrother) is a lung cancer research oncologist at the University of Ohio’s James Cancer Center and Solove Research Institute. I hope your doctors contact places like that to try out the latest in experimental treatments.
Still praying, Petruchio...
Let us know about the next round of chemo, if you can.
May God bless and keep you.
Prayers continuing, P....
I’ve just started reading my pings again. I took a little time off for my own health issues. I’m just now seeing this update.
I’m sorry your news is bad. You’ve remained in my prayers, and will stay in my heart. God bless you FRiend.
In case you get here I wanted you to know I continue to keep you in my prayers my FRiend.
Admin Mod, please add this post number to the update list in the title. Thank you!
I received a phone call from our dear FRiend Petruchio this evening. This is an All Hands On Deck call to the Prayer Warriors. He is back in the hospital today. Given the tone of his post at #1190, I was surprised to hear from him. I was even more surprised by the strength and vitality in his voice.
However, he says he is still headed downhill. He’s been having lower back pain and his doc had him in the MRI machine for over 2 hours today (and he’s claustrophobic!). They found a tumor wrapped around his lower spinal column. He says that his left leg is numb.
We spent some time talking about his final affairs. A couple of FReepers have been listed in his paperwork to be notified when the cancer finally wins. He has a childhood friend who will fly in from the DC area to officiate at his funeral. And he has written his obit. He says we all need to be on the lookout for that; because he is one ornery sonufagun with a wicked sense of humor.
His last post said he was tired, and tonight he told me that he’s lonely. Please pray for Peace and Comfort for our FRiend.
Thanks,
Jinx
Another prayer ping for Petruchio
Our Lady of Good Health, please intercede with your Son for Petruchio.
Amen.
Prayers for your comfort and peace. St Michael, pray for us.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car cest à Toi quappartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

May our Blessed Lord wrap his Arms of comfort around you.
Prayers for you dear Petruchio. May the Lord comfort you and may you be constantly aware of His all-encompassing love for you.
Miracles happen, however unlikely it may seem. May God, Our heavenly Father who created Petruchio in his mother's womb with the co-operation of Petruchio's father have mercy on Petruchio and his loved ones that he may remain with us a while longer in better and tolerable health. If that not be the will of our heavenly Father, and Petruchio's race has been run, ease his pain and welcome him to the ranks of your Church Triumphant to spend eternity in Your Presence. we ask this in Jesus's name.
May the Blessed Mother pray for him, now and at the hour of his death.
All Hands on Deck, Prayer Warriors.....
Petruchio is back in the hospital and in need of heavy duty prayers for peace and comfort.
