I'm a strong believer in Prayer. Over the years I've asked for prayers for a couple of my Grandchildren. Isaiah and Breanna. Both are fine now thanks mostly to the prayers of Family, Friends and Freepers. Thank you all again.
This week I was informed that I have Cancer of the Esophagus. I won't go into the details except to say I have a good team of Doctors working with me. The Coach of my team is the Great Physician and I trust him completely.
They are hoping for complete remission after treatment of chemotherapy and radiation. Surgery may be an option later on, but it isn't now.
I am literally half the man I was a year ago, I have lost between 70 and 80 pounds, but some of that can be attributed to being diagnosed late last year with diabetes.
Thank you and God bless you all.

May our Sweet Lord hold you in his healing hands....God be with you.
Prayers going up now - my own Dad beat throat cancer (with God's help)and went on to live another 10 years to age 85.
Prayers, God bless you.
Prayers aloft, God holds you in His hand.
Prayers offered for your healing Militiaman7.
Heartfelt prayers for your complete recovery. Be sure to let us know how you are coming along so we can redouble our prayers from time to time.
(Romans 10:17)
Prayers are on the way.
You're a good man. Praying for you and your family.
Militiaman7 - you have my deepest prayers for a full recovery. My friend's mom had this cancer and has made a recovery!
Our Prayers are with you Militiaman7, hang tough.
May the Lord grant you a complete healing.
Prayers for your tough battle ahead.
Ask your doctor about Procrit - I believe it is a nutritional supplement for folks who have to go through these treatments.
You can beat it! My son beat it after being given two years to live. That was 10 years ago. Attitude is everything. The doctors told my son that his attitude made a great difference.
Prayers going up for you.
Prayers and hugs being sent your way.
I'm sorry to hear about this. My thoughts and prayers with you. All the best. D1

We cannot lose with Jesus on our side. Hang tough, Militiaman7.
