Jeff Head’s cancer condition now diagnosed as Terminal

As many of you may know, Freeper Jeff Head, a long time member of our forum, was diagnosed six years ago with malignant bone cancer callled Chordoma. It is very rare and and was fond in his lower back and his Sacrum. He had to undergo multiple major spine surgeries, then months of rehab, followed by radiation treatment.

A complete summary of his experiences can be found on-line here:

My Experience with Sacral Chrordoma

Here is the original thread on Free Republic regarding Jeff’s condition as members of the forum joined together in praying for him and his family starting in 2010. It can be found here:

Jeff Head has been Diagnosed with Malignant Bone Cancer

Jeff was asked by MD Anderson to give a presentation about his experience five years ago, before the cancer began showing signs of returning:

Jeff Head’s Presentation at MD Anderson Spine and Brain Cancer Conference

Now, sadly, the cancer has returned recently and is now in his liver, his right pectorial muscle, four places in his skin, and three more places in his Lumbar and Thoracic Spine.

Jeff spent two more months in Houston in May, June, and July with more surgery and more radiation. Dispite these efforts, his condition has now been diagnosed as terminal.

This is forcing Jeff to take an early medical retirement at work, several years before he otherwise would have been prepared to do so financially.

He has submitted his paperwork to the government (Jeff works for the Bureau of Reclamation that builds and maintains hydro-electic and irrigation dams out west).

His problem is that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) can take anywhere from 6-12 months to render a decision and Jeff must go on sick leave while he awaits their decision.

When his own leave runs out, he will have to be on leave without pay.

So, for any of you Freepers who work for any agency of the government, you can help Jeff out by sharing any Use-or-Lose leave you may have.

Here is the OPM Form that any US Government employee can download and fill out to do this:

Government Form for Leave Share to Jeff by Government employees

Once filled out, please mail it to:

Gloria San Nicolas

Human Resources

Stop Code: PN1436

or, you could also fax it to:

Gloria San Nicolas

(208) 378-5023

Jeff is a patriot and good Christian man, father, and grandfather who has personally been involved with many activities against our ever more burdensome government, including in Washington, DC, Jarbidge, Nevada, and Klamath Falls, Oregon. He documented his experiences in Klamath which is available in trade paperback or as an e-book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online outlets...or you can download a free pdf file of it for for free here

Jeff also wrote a five book series about America, a fictional story about the US being attacked by various nations who take advantage of our own current trends. This book is filled with teachings about the Constitution and how the US can prevail if we will simply turn to our roots and foundational, Christian principles. It is called, “The Dragon’s Fury: World War Against America and the West.”

That book is also available in hardback, trade paperback, and ebook form, and is also available for free at the link just mentioned above as a PDF file.

For anyone, particularly non-governmental individuals who cannot share leave, a PayPal fund for Jeff’s family has also been set up to help with his family as his retirement is being seriously impacted by this.

Click Here to Donate to Jeff's Fund

Any amount, down to dimes and nickels, would be gratefully, and thankfully accepted.

You can contribute to that fund by simply clicking on tbanner above and following the directions there. Jeff knows that some may have an issue with PayPal...Jeff indicates that that is fine, he has used PayPal for years without issue, but each should follow the dictates of their own conscience.

At any rate, we know that Jeff and his family would be most grateful for your prayers, thoughts, and any help you may be able to give. He has been willing over the years to give of his time and help others freely and believes firmly that all of this is in God’s hands and that in the end, God’s will shall prevail.

Jeff has made it clear in any case that he does not want anyone either with their leave or their funds, to contribute anything that would put their own leave or finances in any kind of jeopardy. Jeff believes he has already been the recipient of so much.

Anyhow, that is the extent of Jeff’s current condition.

May God in Heaven continue to bless Jeff as he goes through this very painful experience, and may God bless each of you, and our nation at this critical juncture, that we as a people may turn to Him and work our hearts out for the right.

We will keep this thread up-to-date on Jeff’s condition.

He has indicated that depending on how agressive the tumors in his liver and chest are, he could have anywhere from months to longer, perhaps even a year or two, with decining health throughout.

Anyone can read a lot of what Jeff has wriutten over the years at:

JEFFHEAD.COM

He has asked his wife to keep that site up as long as she can possibly do so, and has often commented on how he, a hay seed kid, from a ranch in Texas, could ever receive millions of hits as his site has done.

Just got home and read this, You have been such a Trooper and inspiration for all of us in so many ways and I know will continue to Bless us through this walk. Just thinking the other night about your keeping us so informed through all the trips to Houston and Home, do not know anyone that could have done a more informing, and inspirational job as you did during such a Journey. Watched as you made the transition to Trump very carefully and wise, could see it was not easy but such a good Spirit in doing it. God has each one of us in the Palm of his hand, and nothing that happens to us unless goes through Him first for the OK. I know this Journey will not be easy but I am confident that again you will be a inspiration to all of us,and nothing is finished until He says so. We will bombard Heaven with our Prayers and Trust His almighty Hand will be guiding you and yours, and the way things are going He might return and will make the Trip together.

Hey Jeff,

> ...that was in Las Vegas in 2002 during the Freeper of the year presentation...

That was a couple years before I joined (I was lurking for the election in 2004 and joined in 2005), sorry I missed it!

Bless you, Sir, for your good work and many accomplishments (I just read your resume, very very impressive). You have much to be rightly proud of.

When I looked at your photo, my first thought was, "Yes! That is what a true American Patriot looks like!"

God Bless you and your family, please know that you are in my prayers and I know the Lord God will take care of you as only He can.

Most sincerely, Dayglored

Wow. I am super sad to hear this. I first met Jeff online through his site, then in-person at March for Liberty in DC. We all spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which I just visited again a few days ago.

Jeff - you and your family are in my prayers Brother. :(

This is So Very sad.
Jeff has been an inspiration of strength and courage going way back.
I remember the very effective signage he provided for our FR 09/12/2009 March on DC.
I do wish and pray he and his family have hope and comfort.

My first husband was diognosis with cancer around April 2016, stage 4 around September. I learned about GAVABANO nectar, fruit that comes from South America and is sold in markets and Walmart by Goya food products. Supposed to be 10,000 X more effective than chemo. Four weeks ago he was crying and begging to die. Lower legs and stomach retaining water, could not get comfortable and suffered a mini stroke. I visit weekly and picked him up from a chemo treatment today. He grazes most all day, loves the nectar z also drinks Gatorade for electrolytes and is doing so much better, not losing weight, BP holding steady. Star fruit, a sweet and sour tasting fruit is recommended along the same lines. Edgar Cayce said 3 almonds a day keeps cancer away. I have every confidence in the guanabano. Three times a day, mildly sweet and easy to drink. If there is still time please try it and God bless you.
