Journal: My bone cancer (Sacral Chordoma) ^ | 4 January 2010 | Dolly Howard

Posted on 01/04/2010 2:45:21 AM PST by DollyCali

Our Freeper Friend Jeff Head was diagnosed
with a serious (they all are to me) form of cancer
just before Christmas



Please help me approach the prayer throne for our friend Jeff Head who is in Houston currently from his home in Idaho to have surgery & treatment at MD Anderson for his cancer. He will be able to respond on occasion.

You can follow his story & the particulars of the cancer at his blog/HERE

You might know him for many reasons.. His great mind & posts on this forum .. at which he was Freeper of the year in 2001. He is an Activist, Author, Man of God, Devoted Family Man(father of 6; grandfather of 5) and friend to many.

You can find him on line at places other than here.. at Facebook he is Jeff Head

Jeff's Web Page - (check out the neat stickers he sells)

Jeff's FR Profile

Jeff's blog on his Cancer

Father we pray for our friend Jeff. May he find your perfect peace as he continues to trust you with his life. Give the surgeons and medical personnel wisdom and perfect skill in treating him. Please keep him close to your heart as his body responds to treatments and to surgery. Help us to love him as our brother and give support and strength to wife Gail and their large and loving family. In the name of our Savior and Creator. Amen.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU so much for the encouraging update, Becki!

As others have commented, your dad is among the most cherished posters here, his contributions to the cause are too numerous to count and every day a multitude of freeper prayers go up for his full and speedy recovery. He is an inspiration to all of us.

I have not the slightest doubt he will come out of this healthier and stronger than ever!

Please give him our well wishes and let him know we're all pulling for him and that we look forward to his next update.

And thanks again for keeping us posted! God bless Jeff, Gail and you!

Enrique

See update below.

HUG Becky!!

Dustin said that he visited with Jeff and Gail today. Jeff had a rough weekend, but is progressing with recovery. Was on ventilator after surgery, came off Sunday!! He is able to maintain respirations independently. He is able to move legs, arms, etc. He knows where he is at, recognizes who he is with, etc. Dr. reported all cancer was removed!!

Keep praying, y’all! His continued recovery is now what we need be praying for... and that the cancer stays GONE!

Pray for Gail, and of course the family, too!

Keeping your dad in our prayers. I was at Klamath Falls. It was an honor to see your dad in action. He is truly remarkable.

Why, THANK YOU for the kind words, friend! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

[Jeff] has a great spiritual resource here...and I know he’s very appreciative.

So true. As you noted, on so many issues, Jeff has been the one to initiate the call to action. He is a treasure to this site and a GREAT AMERICAN. God bless him and his family.

More prayers on their way!

JEFF HEAD UPDATE

I know we have all be wondering how Jeff is doing! here is a note from a Freeper who visited.. and following that a few links that family members posted.. w/new threads rather than onging on this update thread

Jeff Head
From exhaustedmomma | 05/09/2010 12:20:47 AM PDT new
Dolly-
I went up to see Gail and Jeff late this afternoon. Jeff specifically asked me to contact you, lazamatz, Jim, squantos, TravisMcGee, eaker, & humblegunner to tell you thanks for prayers & keep praying. He is in a lot of pain. (But considering the enormity of the surgery he went through, he is doing good all things considered IMHO.) He will have a bone graft Tuesday (I think they said Tuesday).

Keep praying for him, Dolly!

Sorry this is so late at night. It is the only time I could get this done. I can’t PM everybody on this list now, but you were first he mentioned. Also, I pm’d eaker b/c Jeff had a request.

Regards-

@@@
