Juggernaut 11,054 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aethelbert has informed me that he has been diagnosed with Spinal Cancer. He has been cancer free for 6 years, however recent scans and Xrays have found cancer in his spine. I do not think he has been given a number for the level he is at yet, as this news is rather new. The BIG testing comes on Mon. Jan 14th. All I know is we have yet another brother in need, I feel our prayers/thoughts have helped others here in recent past, either it be the hand of God, or the power of positive thought knowing others are concerned about you. So, All I ask is to please let him know he's got your support. I would also like to provide an update on his granddaughter, Whom you may recall from this thread. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...mp;#entry175789 I know she could still use your prayers as well. From Aethelbert: My granddaughter recently pulled herself up to a standing position. Used both hands to do this and her right foot and leg took the strain. This progress is so much faster than they had thought possible. For that I give God the glory and also thank you for your prayers and those of your church. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've also passed on a prayer request to some friends of mine. You hang in there and stay in touch as best you can. Hope to see you over here again soon! Take care my friend.

Paladin 37 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've been staring at my keyboard trying to think of something to say. Everything I come up with sounds rather hollow. I'm sorry you and you're granddaughter are having to face these situations. We're thinking of you here, and hoping for a full recovery of you both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 My thoughts and prayers are with you. My aunt had breast cancer, beat it, it came back, and she beat it again. May you come through this as she did. Looking forward to hear more news after the testing on Monday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeD 541 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Dave, I feel the best thing you can do is to stay strong and positive. Refuse and resist. We are in your corner! One of my life long friend's father was diagnosed with cancer back in '98. It crushed his will so bad that he died within 10 days of the diagnosis. Stay strong and defiant!

Fatboy148 4 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) I have not had the opportunity to meet you as I am relatively new to the family here, but we are brothers in the battle. If you beat the beast back once, you have to continue to believe that you can do it again. Seeing the picture of that lovely young lady, gives you every reason to continue in the fight. When the Docs get results from your upcoming testing and they start assigning statistics and numbers, you have to continue to believe that you can do it. If the numbers are one in ......., you have to remember that you are that one. I wish you and your family all the strength and faith that you may need in the coming days, weeks months and years ahead. May you see her walk down the aisle when she graduates kindergarten, high school, college and gets married. Best wishes, Fatboy Edited January 13, 2008 by Fatboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
