Please keep him in your prayers.......

[B Knotts]

Praying for you.

[Soaring Feather]

It's a tough one Common Tator. Prayers continue for you.

[Geronimo]

My prayers and most supportive wishes for you on Monday afternoon...

[Starboard]

So sorry to hear this. Will pray for him.

Dear CT, I am going to say more than I usually would after reading a post such as yours. There were two things that came to my mind as I was reading what you wrote, before I read your planned course of action. The first was to ask you to consider getting a second (or even a third) opinion. The second was, Can't he take chemo instead of radiation?

For what it may be worth to you, from a praying FReeper FRiend, I send these thoughts to you, with my prayers for God to continue to guide you and your medical team every step of the way, protect and heal you fully.

Thanks for the update, Common Tater. I'm happy you are still analyzing this and will be having another opinion/assessment with another doctor --- especially one that knows your history. Keep searching and weighing options.

Don't worry about the ringing in your ears ---- it's just us, with our prayers for you!

[STARWISE]

Continuing prayers for wisdom in your decision and that of your docs, CT.

George Washington
A Prayer for Guidance

O eternal and everlasting God, I presume to present myself this morning before thy Divine majesty, beseeching thee to accept of my humble and hearty thanks, that it hath pleased thy great goodness to keep and preserve me the night past from all the dangers poor mortals are subject to, and has given me sweet and pleasant sleep, whereby I find my body refreshed and comforted for performing the duties of this day, in which I beseech thee to defend me from all perils of body and soul....

Increase my faith in the sweet promises of the gospel; give me repentance from dead works; pardon my wanderings, and direct my thoughts unto thyself, the God of my salvation; teach me how to live in thy fear, labor in thy service, and ever to run in the ways of thy commandments; make me always watchful over my heart, that neither the terrors of conscience, the loathing of holy duties, the love of sin, nor an unwillingness to depart this life, may cast me into a spiritual slumber, but daily frame me more and more into the likeness of thy son Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time attain the resurrection of the just unto eternal life bless my family, friends, and kindred.

Common Tator,
God Bless you and the tough decision you must make. God is with you as well as all the FREEPERS. Take good care.

I cannot imagine what you are going through. It's good to see you posting again though!

[Pegita]

Unto You, O Lord, we return with utmost praise that our beloved FRiend has received the news that warms all of our hearts. We praise You for Your loving kindness to him and his loved ones, and to his FReeper family. Grant unto his medical team the wisdom to offer the course of treatment that will bring about the desires of Ray's heart ... length of days with clarity of mind and ability, that he might joyfully continue to share his vast storehouse of wisdom and knowledge. Touch him again, O Lord, as you did nine years ago, that others might know that the Great Physician walks among His people.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, Amen ...

[RobFromGa]

My prayers are with you CT. I hope that you get a good visit with your doctor, and that you get a diagnosis that you feel you can trust. I think that is very important, so that you are confident that you are taking the best course of action.

Keep yourself optimistic, and know that a lot of people out there in Flyover country are praying for your total recovery, FRiend.

[NonValueAdded]

Ah, CT, I knew there was someone I left off my recent list of FReepers in need of prayer support. So renewed prayers for your continued recovery and a call out for additional troops.

[MomwithHope]

Thanks for the update, will keep you in my prayers. Sounds like you have a good plan. Best wishes!!

[Jim Noble]

Praying always for you.

We miss your pre-election brilliance.

[EDINVA]

wonderful to see you posting again, CT. We will pray that Dr. Roach and you come up with just the right formula for longevity and continued mental acuity. God Bless.
