John, there are fewer experiences more frightening than first getting a cancer diagnosis. But it does sound like you're getting a handle on the situation and have done what needs to be done, and are taking action instead of passively sitting around waiting for a doctor's prediction to become reality. We are NOT statistics, but people!

I'm sending you a PM and also truckloads of ! Get out there and fight those Much strength to you, fellow warrior!

After reading parts of your journal, all I can say is "wow". What an inspiration you are. I added you to our prayer list at church. I didn't think you would mind. I work in a geriatrics hospital where 50 year old patients are considered the pediatric patient of the night, and have had a couple of patients who had the Whipple procedure when they were younger. Obviously, they lived to a ripe old age. I'm sure you will do the same.

Your pictures turned out great too. You have a beautiful family!

Many of you may recall a post by one of our members, John, (who goes by '"HndrdPrcnt") a few weeks ago, asking for prayer for a life-threatening diagnosis of pancreatic cancer he had recently received. The drs. had given him 6-12 months to live, but further study showed that he has a form of pancreatic cancer that only about 5% of patients get, and that a procedure, called the Whipple Procedure, could potentially cure him.

I wanted to ask everyone to send pixie dust and prayers his way today, and tomorrow especially, as he undergoes this surgery in the morning- it is very invasive, and the recovery time is long - but if it goes well, he could be cancer-free after further treatments. He is young, with a beautiful young family, and I'm sure they could use our prayers and the magical Intercot pixie dust tonight and tomorrow as they go through what must be a very frightening time.

Thanks everyone!!

I'll say some prayers for you. I had cancer cells in my thyroid and they were all removed. The day I had my surgery, there was a volunteer who sat and prayed with me, I swear God just knew to send her and I got through the whole thing. I still have a 50% chance of the other side of my thyroid developing this, but it has been 10 years and I am doing well. Keep the faith!!

My prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless.
