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 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.

MD Anderson is top-notch Jeff. I know several people who’ve been treated there.

Prayers for you and your family my fellow FReeper. Keep the faith, God is in charge.

My prayers are with you and your family on your quest to find treatments and a cure. May God bless you all on your journey.

The fact that you hoped and prayed your legacy would be reflected in the lives of your children and grandchildren was a powerful statement to me.

Dear Jeff:

I'm here in Texas, in the DFW area, and would be happy to help you if needed. Don't know what I can do, but if you need a friend in the State, you've got one!

Prayers for you and all who love you, Jeff.

Thank you for the update. Good luck on your meeting and we know you are anxious to get on with your treatment as all of us would be as well.

I think just by reading your post...you have given much to your children and grandchildren and I’m sure they thank you.

Wishing you good thoughts and a return to good health.

That is a Facebook link, and to a non-member it just pops up a login page. I have no interest in joining Facebook. Too many security issues. There was (maybe still is) a for-profit company whose business was specifically to get people’s info taken off Facebook after they’d quit and tried everything in the Facebook system to get their info off of there. Facebook just flat-out wouldn’t delete people’s information when they quit Facebook and asked to have all their info deleted.

To: DollyCali; All
Posted this update today on my Facebook blog and on my own site...and now here on FreeRepublic as well:


11th Entry January 13, 2010 8:30 AM

Well, we are on our way this morning for Houston. We have my first appointment tomorrow morning at 8 AM at MD Anderson which is a registration and orientation meeting, followed at 9 AM by a longer meeting with one of their sarcoma physicians. we then have another meeting at 2 PM.

By the end of tomorrow, we should have a much better idea of what the immediate future holds, though we suppose they will let us know their thoughts and diagnosis based on the clinical, MRI, and pathological data from Idaho, followed by several days of their own tests, scans, etc. But we shll see and I will record it here, on my site, and on FreeRepublic.

I also wanted to link to a wonderful journal from another Chordoma patient from some wonderful people up in the northeast (Jim and Nacny Forte) who have been going through a similar set of circumstances but are several months ahead of us. Jim also was diagnosed with Chordoma (after an earlier false diagnosis) I thought that this journal, put together by Nacny, very informative and very well written and wanted others who may find my own to benefit from that one too. with their permission, here is a link to it in Microsoft Word format.

http://www.jeffhead.com/chordoma/LeapofFaith.doc

It will open in Microsoft Word if you have it.

Thank you James and Nancy for contacting me, sharing your information, for your faith and prayers, and for being willing to help us, fellow sorjourners, on our path.

Also, we are finding as we prepare to go down to Houston several doors and blessings opening for us that I will be able to discuss later once we are there. Surely the Lord God is showering us with blessings as a result of the faith and prayers of so many on our bbehalf.

The least of which has not been my brother Lee and his wife Brenda. Thank you, Lee and Brenda, my wonderful older brother, from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and graciousness...and more importantly your faith and prayers on our behalf as we were blessed and priveleged to stay with you in your home these last 10 days.

For you, and for all who exercise faith and kindness on our behalf, I can only pray myself that the blessings ae returned to you many fold from that same God in Heaven, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Having witnessed first hand how He works, I know they will be in His time.

Sincerely, and in Christ,

Jeff

Thank you for the update, Jeff! I am praying, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for healing, for the peace that passes all human understanding, and for wisdom for all those who care for you.

May God be with you and wrap His arms of love around you!
