My friend Jim
No not THAT Jim. If you missed it, my very althletic, very health conscious, 30 YO friend Jim was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma about 2-3 weeks ago and only given a 50% chance of surviving it.
Anyway, he had his first chemo treatment, and it went well. He didn't get very sick or weak at all. His organ scan came back clean as did his bone marrow test. PTL. The oncologist has upgraded his chances to 70%. Keep praying. Thanks.

I wish the best of luck to your friend.
I've recently had two very different experiences with cancer. My father was dignosed with lukemia about ten months ago, the same disease that killed his father twenty years ago. Well, he went through five rounds of chemo and now his oncologists find no traces of the disease in his system. He is currently in remission from a disease that not very long ago was thought to have no cure. My other experience isn't so happy. I found out over Christmas that my best friend's father had lymphatic cancer. I lived with my best friend and his father for two years a while back, and he became a second father to me. He was super healthy, running five days a week, not eating meat, etc. However, he took too long to go to the doctor for the abdominal pains he was having, and the usually very treatable lymphoma he had got too strong of a foothold on him. I attended his funeral yesterday. I will keep your friend in my thoughts, and I hope his treatment continues to go well for him.

I hope he fully recovers. It's a terrible thing to have to go through, I lost an aunt to cancer.
My cousin's best friend was diagnosed with cancer about 2 months ago, he's only 18. So all his friends visited one day and shaved their heads in support of him. |

Good luck and God's speed in a full recovery. Attitude plays a big part in health... so urge Jim to stay positive, and provide him with that type of empathy!
Regards, Chas

Heavenly father place your hands on dacman's friend Jim. Heal his his body and rid him of the cancer that is trying to take over. I pray that is it your will to heal Jim and perhaps if he has not already help him turn and seek your love and kindness and find strength in you, to trust in you completely. May your wondeful holy spirit move into his body and find the source of where the cancer is coming from and take it out, wiping it clean once and for all.
Give the doctors the wisdom and the know how to take care of him and see that his body is rid of the cancer once and for all. By your grace, by your power may it be done. In your glorious and majestic name we all pray. Amen dacman, please read Psalm 23 to him. It is a moving scripture that is very powerful.

Thanks cincyreds, that was very nice.
I'm sure Jim knows Ps 23 quite well, but I'll remind him. Thanks again.
