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.

Thanks for the ping, Dolly.

pabianice posted a link today on another thread that made me think of what Jeff, and Gail are dealing with.

I’ll leave it to her to decide if it should be posted here.

Jeff and Gail, may God continue to bless you with his healing love.

Glad to hear you are doing well!

One thing I want to know...

Did the census takers find you at MDA? Are you officially a Texan now?

Such great news. I have to say that I am happily surprized to learn that Jeff is so close to walking again, I foolishly thought it wasn’t going to be an option! Praise the Lord!

Thank you for keeping us updated. You continue to be in my prayers.

Hey, big guy! It’s so good to “see” you! A prayer has already gone up WRT your adventure this week. I will keep sending them until I hear otherwise, and you are off on another adventure. I will pray for that one, too, and keep praying for you on all of your adventures. Just keep pointing me in the right direction.

You won’t regret renting the motor home.

God love, bless and keep you, Gail and your family. Y’all are precious people.

Stood up and took my first several steps with a walker today. It was very painful, but also so very gratifying. God in Heaven, my wife, and the thoughts, encouragement, and prayers of you all were with me this day. The plan is to do that same thing once or twice a day until I can do it naturally, for long periods on my own. Please continue praying for us.

God bless you all! And His blessings and grace to each and every one of you.

Now you're talking...and walking. You're just the little engine that could!

Great news!

You rock Jeff! Surviving cancer is not for weenies (as a survivor I know!). For me, getting bathed and dressed meant I had “won” the day. You are now walking!!!! You win! In every way!

God bless you FRiend.

Jeff, thanks to good FReepers I got updates on you and you and your family are certainly in our prayers. We pray for complete recovery, for perseverance, for strength—through ou Lord, and for peace of mind and joy of heart.

Your posts have always been informative and a morale builder for me and I’m sure many others by the looks of this thread!
