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

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.

Continued prayers, Jeff.

Still praying.

You are a real inspiration to us to be facing this with such grace.

Doubling my prayers for you and yes, miracles can and do happen.

Dang, Jeff ... hang in there. Yes, miracles are always possible.

Your openness on this is amazing and your family will benefit greatly from it. My dad wasn’t as open as you seem to be during his battle with kidney cancer (which he lost Christmas day ‘08). He shared very little and I never really knew the seriousness of his condition. But you’ve shared even with your FRiends here. Amazing. May God continue to bless you and your family during this battle. Prayers up!

Sending prayers to you and your family through this very difficult time.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. I am totally amazed at what doctors can do, looking at the images you posted.

[MizSterious]

Jeff, I’ve seen and read about so many miracles with prayer. I’ll add my own to the many, many prayers I know are being prayed on your behalf—the more the merrier, when it comes to prayer.

[jennyjenny]

Continued prayers for you, your family, doctors and caregivers.

[NordP]

I have learned and seen personally, that in God all things are possible. BELIEVE.

[stylecouncilor]

Prayers up! Get well soon, FRiend!

I’ve seen miracles happen on FR when FReepers’ get going. You definitely deserve one.

Jeff, your attitude, through Christ your Savior, is awesome!

May the Great Physician hear the prayers of your family, your church, your friends, and those of us who have just seen your grace in your words.

God IS a God of miracles, and He will continue to be with you and give you peace.

Thank you so much for your testimony. Prayers will continue and intensify.

Be assured that our prayers surround you with warmth, love and faith.

You are remembered in my prayers, Jeff.

[goodnesswins]

Prayers for you Jeff, and your family...and the greatest doctors in the world who will have God’s guidance.

[Allegra]

God bless you, Jeff. I so admire your courage and I will continue to pray for you.

God Bless you.

Can I just please, caution you on the morphine? It is highly addictive, which means that it quickly becomes ineffective, causing a need for an ever increasing larger dose, until it finally becomes fatal itself-—or a horrendously painful detox becomes needed.

The detox is very cruel in that the pain of the condition suddenly hits, full force, because tolerance hasn’t been built up, PLUS one has the very real physical pain from coming off of the morphine the body has come to need.

Morphine is amazing in the ability to relieve pain-—at first; but it becomes the problem eventually.

Just something you may want to keep in mind and plan for, these next two weeks.
