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.

Prayers for Jeff and his family continue at my house, too. I hope his pain eases, and that the bone grafts are successful.

It’s a long hard row to hoe but the outcome can be wonderful. I know this.

Keep up the good fight with the support of your many friends’ prayers.

DollyCali, thank you for all your updates on Jeff Head. I’m always anxious to read them and don’t get back to thank you, so I’m doing so first this time. Jeff’s strong faith and incredible gift of prayer and endurance to write so extensively while enduring excruciating pain are an inspiration to all of us. We continue to pray daily for Jeff’s surgeons and all those involved in his extensive surgery and after care as well as for Jeff and his family as he is watched over by our Master Healer and Lord.

Wow!!! This is awesome news! (Except for the pain part...)

Jeff is such an inspiration, if and when I ever have to face something as daunting, I will remember the strength and faith he has shown us. He is my hero.

Continued prayers for him and his family.

Thanks, Dolly, for the update.

Just said a prayer for Jeff’s pain to subside—it is a major operation. He will be a bionoc Freeper when he is done—there’s no telling what he may accomplish then!

Jeff’s work on this Earth is not yet done. Pain or not, his Heavenly Father and ours is in command of Jeff and Gail’s future, as He always has been. No better place to be, then in the palm of His hands.

Fellow Freepers, say a prayer for Jeff today—for an end of pain and for strength.

Thank You so much for posting this Dolly!! My computer went bonkers, had to take it back where I bought it.

If your name wasn't on the list, please don't be offended. Jeff was trying so hard to remember... even telling me exactly how to spell names. He is sort of in and out of it. I'm sure that last would/could have been extremely long!!

Today is his bone graft surgery! Pray FReepers!! After this, the rehab starts; which will be the next hurdle. Gail told me it will begin with a tilted bed b/c he has been flat on his back for so long. Pray accordingly!

He is anxious, understandably. We have been praying for "the peace that passes understanding to guard his heart and mind."

Gail is amazing! She is such a strong woman! She is such a wonderful source of calm and support to Jeff! It was so amazing to witness. Continue to pray for her peace, stength, and rest! Also, can you imagine being thousands a miles away from your family and friends during a time like this? Continue to pray for the family! That's somebody's daddy and mama... brother, friend, etc!

Jeff wanted me to tell y'all thank you so much for the prayers! He kept repeating that, y'all!
