Got hit with a double whammy yesterday. Biopsy came, seems I have acute leukemia and lymphoma. I go into L.S.U. Shreveport Monday for chemo, so I'll be off the forum for a couple of weeks. I'd appreciate your good thoughts and moral support.

Howard, I'm so sorry to hear about your news. My wife and I read your post and we are praying for God to intervene in your situation. Both She and I would be dead right now if it weren't for God stepping in. Don't give up, keep up the fight.

Howard,
Prayers are on their way up, man. I believe that God can and will heal you, and that the docs will have all the right answers. God bless you big time, man.

Gary


I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

all the others seem to be taken care of, so I'll be praying to the gods of rock and roll for you, Howard. My thoughts are with you - just take it one day at a time and you'll soon be bouncing back.

all the very best,


Marc

Howard,

My good friend came to me years ago with a similar case. He was 65. He died at the age of 84. Lets pray for this.

Went through the big cancer deal myself 5 years ago - they gave me a 50/50 chance of living for 5 years. I pray for you also Howard for strength to get THROUGH this. You can and will. Keep us posted man. Stay connected! Log in from treatment and the hospital, but stay connected! Places like this become welcome second homes and sources of encouragement.

Be blessed!

I also went through the big C 4 years ago.

Good luck and our prayers are with you.
