A fellow hunter is in major need of our prayers. last wed a close friend and hunting partner of mine went to the hospital with trouble breathing. er thought it could be chest cold and fluid in the lungs and keep him over night. it got no better on thur. actually a little worse on friday mornning they diagnosed him with lung cancer. he is only 27 yr old after a long weekend and getting worse the hole time they come in this mornning to inform him i apears he may also have some cancer in the bone in his leg. this is happening to the wrong guy. not that i would wish it on anyone but if someone has to have it they choose the wrong one. So i ask all of you to take a moment right know and please say a prayer for my Friend his name is Frank


Thank You

Congratulations on being a survivor Roy! My mom had a battle with breast cancer a few years ago and is hanging in there still. She says every day is a blessing and she enjoys each one now! God bless all the cancer survivors and their doctors! I will keep Frank in my prayers. I know how you feel Rabbit Hunter the oldest guy in our core rabbit hunting group really showed signs of slowing down last year. It would not be the same without him! Of course, none of us are guaranteed a day and Roy is proof that Frank may be around longer than some of the rest of us! Live life to the fullest - like each day is your last!

PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY

Today has been a rough day. Frank is not getting any better it just keeps getting worse. it is to the point now he is not allowed any vistors and is on a breathing machine. i never ask for anything from anyone especialy people i have not meet but i ask each and everyone of you to please say an extra prayer for him. it is really needed.

i think the prayers are starting to work. the drained 900ml out of his lung and he can breath much better now and talk to us now. still pretty drug up so i don' think he knows what is really going on but as of noon today a few of us at a time are allowed to go see him :P :cool: :) :biggrin:

we made the turn for the worst last night. he was put on life support. he has a fast spreading type of cancer and it is filled his body. stomach is full kiddneys are full and both legs. it is now day to day doctor said he may not make the weekend. i think they called it sarcoma. what i want to know and have got no answers mabey someone here can help is why aren't they treating him with chemo or radiation. they are just giving him morphine and they got him on life support.

God bless him - he probably not strong enough to withstand treatment right now. I imagine they are just trying to keep him comfortable. We will also pray for the family and loved ones to have the necessary strength and comfort in the coming days.

May God hold your friend close, and through his goodness and love heal the hearts and minds of Frank's friends and family during this trying time of sorrow and uncertain understanding. I believe that when such a young person endures such a unexplained, unpredicted happening, it is because God may need them more with him. They are truley angels. My thoughts and prayers will be with your friend and youduring this hard time.
