No Patrick, Brian East in Lincoln. They're installing a tracheotomy so they can investigate the tumor. My wind pipe is 99% blocked by the tumor. Plus it's in the lymph nodes also. From there I think it will be on to St. Elizabeths for the major surgery. Just really overwelmed with all that went on today. Possibly could loose my voice box which I'm not really thrilled about. It's in the LORD's hands now from where I stand. Thanks Pat, Tim :TU:
Mike, I have family in Des Moines. Maybe after all this over I'll have to come out and check out your rides. Thanks for the support man it is greatly appreciated. Same to you Pat! Thanks Guys! :TU: Tim
Tim, is that the one on 48th and (I think) Cotner? And where is St. Elizabeth's? Lincoln too? Hope all goes right for you. Keep us all up to date. Sending out prayers your way and at noon tomorrow too.
Robert, Brian East is on 48th and St. Elizabeth's is in Lincoln too. There was also a hospital in Omaha that was mentioned but can't remember which one it was. He said they specialize in this type of surgery. Not sure it goes from here after tommorrow? Will keep you posted! Thanks Tim
Tim it was probably University Med Center (or whatever it is they are calling it now). Good luck tomorrow.
Tim, I am praying for God's touch in this surgery and also for the specialists and surgeons to be under direction and guidance from Almighty God. Our Father is the Great Physician! I pray that the Holy Spirit engulfs you and your family members with strength and comfort as only He can. Will continue to intercede and lift up your situation to a loving Holy Father in the name of his precious son Jesus Christ! I want to encourage believers here to pray for you. Please have someone keep us posted on the developments.
Today is the day they do the tracheotomy and biopsy. They'll know more atfer today. Hope to be home Sat. for a short time before the major surgical stuff happens. I'll post as soon as I can. Thanks to You All and God Bless, Tim
Tim, just saw this thread. Hope everything goes OK for you today. If you need anything while you are in Lincoln let me know.
Tim, we are praying for you here. Our # is 486-9520 if you need anything while in Lincoln, don't hesitate to ask!
Tim, May the Lord bless you and keep you in his healing hands. I am praying for you buddy. Your faith will sustain you in all things. And in all things let God be glorified! We ask for the healing of this dear Brother in the name of Jesus. amen
Thanks To All, Got home this evening from Lincoln. Have a trach. now whiich really is hard getting to. The oncologist and radiologist want a pet scan of the chest area to see if it has progressed down to the lung area. The throat area is a cat.4 cancer. The rest is unknown. Go back Tues. for more yak yak between docs. :spank: Right now it looks like a solid 2 weeks of Kemo. and Rad. which they says is pretty rough in itself. Seems like Kemo and Rad. kill a person faster than cancer itself. Thanks for all your support people. Eric and Greg I have your # in my cell phone. Thanks Tim
Tim, Its good to hear that things went good this week for you. A freind of our parents went through kemo about a year ago. It made him feal sick alot but it helped him overcome his cancer (in remission anyway). Now he's like nothing happened to him. Good luck with the scan of your chest area. I'll pray that it comes back clear.
Prayers for Tim Tim, I'm a minister and thought I'd just let you know you've got prayer going up for you in Spokane, Wa. Russ :TU:
Again thanks to all, Russ thank you, Greg and Eric I have your # so will be in touch when I get to the point when I can talk a little better, getting to this stupid trach tube which Tues. they're changing it to a smaller one for what reason I don't know. Thanks Again guys and looking foward to one thing in the 65 someday :3gears: :3gears: :3gears: Tim
Tim, I've been away for a while and just read thru your thread. I'm praying for you. Wanted to let you know that your witness of faith is a real encouragement to all of your fellow believers. Mark
Thanks Mark, After today the ball starts rolling next week. Starting with Chemo. first round. 3weeks later round 2 of chemo, then 7 solid weeks of chemo./radiation 5 days a week. Not looking foward to loosing the hair and getting sick. Told the Doc. today seems to me that cure kills more people than the cancer from what I've seen. ou: At peace either way it goes. The dream still remains the same, The GS Nats. in a 65 Skylark, 401 4spd. powered. :3gears: :Brow: Low to mid 10's hopefully to start. :3gears: :3gears: :3gears: Tim
