Health Update

Many thanks to all of you who have commented on my last post and are praying for me.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all of the support I have received here and on Facebook.  It's pretty neat to know that I literally have people praying for me all over the world.

Please continue to do so.  I saw the surgeon yesterday and the news wasn't good.  My CT scan revealed not only a large tumor on the colon but a tumor on my liver and 2 nodules on my lungs.  Needless to say this was a pretty big blow.

The treatment plan as of now is this.  I have surgery scheduled for tomorrow - December 24th at 11:00am at Harbor Hospital in Baltimore.  After that I am to immediately begin receiving chemotherapy.

Don't know how much or how often I'll be able to update after this but I will do so as I am able. Please know that I deeply appreciate all of the kind words and prayers

The BHT is closing tomorrow, and running a call to pray for you for the next two days. We love you David. Fight the good fight.

Hi David,

This is Kyle Yancy from New York. I emailed you 'bout two days ago regarding my own cancer situation. If I may be so forward as to recommend a SECOND opinion regarding chemo, please give Dr. Nicholas J. Gonzalez, MD a call. His number is 212 213 3337. Don't mean to be rude, but it's the New Yawka in me. :-)

I just heard your news and prayed also. I will continue to do so.

David,

I came to you through my friend Milton Stanley. I will pray for you and your family. May the Lord be with you at this time of great need. “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance1 upon you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26).

Twenty years, one month and ten days ago I underwent surgical removal of a Pituitary Adenoma surrounding my pituitary gland. I have taken daily medication every day since then. By God's grace I am still alive and well and will remember you in prayer as you enter this trial that He has ordained. May you grow and glorify Him because of it.

[Pastor M]

God bless as you enter surgery and treatment.

[Thomas Cackler]

Will keep praying for you, your family and your flock.

[Barry]

David,

My wife and I just prayed for you, and poured out our hearts to the Lord on your behalf. Though I've never met you, I consider you a friend and a brother. You blog was the first blog I ever read with any regularity. You've encouraged in ways you will never know. You and your family will continue to be in our prayers.

I pray that GOD pulls you thru the surgery and chemo to become a cancer survivor.

Peace & Blessings

May God's presence bring you consolation, courage, and peace.
