From Johnny earlier today:
"Time to fess up.
Turns out I have brain cancer that moved there from my lungs. Prognosis is poor. I had brain surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, being me, I intend to fight hard to the very end, and beat the odds. I may well be around for harvest season this year. That is my intent. Normal prognosis is in weeks.
I've held off on bringing this up on FR for several reasons. But the time to bring it up is now.
Consider this my opus. It's as close as I'm going to get to giving one.
I really want to thank Jim for giving us a forum. Jim, you do good work. Thanks."

As always, your post makes me smile. So you planned a Friday dump, thought you’d step back into the shadows unnoticed, and it didn’t work? Obamaesque, buddy.
Sending you love and appreciation for all you’ve brought to FR, and praying for peace and better times ahead.
“Lord, make this boy right....”
Amen and AMEN!
Very sorry to learn of Johnny’s fate; it can happen to any of us at any time. May God bless in his tribulations.

God doesn’t answer to me, Johnny, but I still plan to ask Him what He’s doing.
Stay strong , FRiend. The world still needs you.
Hi Johnny
So sorry to hear the bad news.
I have been here for nearly 17 years and have read and enjoyed your posts.
May the Lord Bless and Keep you.
Johnny.. you will be in my family’s prayers. Hugs and much love to you! When my Dad was diagnosed with the same illness, he said to me, “It’s all about your family, friends and the life you lead”. So, you are admired and loved by us. You made us laugh and truly think about our country, faith and courage. You gave encouragement when it was needed and humor when we were down. You brightened our day with your words and thoughts. Thank you for being you. Hugs, Mom
Thanks for letting us know, Windflier.
May God bless Johnny.
God Bless You,Johnny,
and
God Bless Texas !
This is sad news. Hang in there, Johnny.
Almighty God, there is no power to compare with You, our Creator, who has carefully knit us together, who knows the engineering of body, mind, and spirit, and who has given Your own Son because of Your great love for Your children.
We, therefore, pray for our fellow freeper, JRandomFreeper. We pray that anything between him and You be laid on the altar of confession, so that he does not distance himself from You in any way. And in that newness of spirit, we knock on Your door, Lord, and ask You to touch this brother. We cling to Your love as we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for the blessings You have given us. We thank You for the promise of salvation. We lift this whole situation up to You and ask Your healing, comfort, wisdom, and peace be in all the details. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.
May God bless.
God bless Texas.

Prostate, brain, for some men there isn't that much difference...
(Not for /johnny though...)
Some of us really appreciate a cook!
EternalVigilance ~ I can imagine a lot of exclamations like that in heaven.
You should see how they treat the one lawyer who made it there!
Antibiotics that target mitochondria effectively eradicate cancer stem cells...
Just sayin'.
Dear Lord,
Make this boy right...
Apparently He has His work cut out for Him,
however with God all things are possible.
May the God of Miracles, the Divine Physician, intervene and touch you that you may be comforted in your suffering and healed if it is His will.
May your family be strengthened and encouraged by your example.
