That is kinda good news knowing they caught it early and will be able to surgically remove that. It's such a fast-progressing type of cancer. I will continue to pray for Fr. Michael.

Shout aloud to the Lord, all the earth; Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with great joy. Know this: The Lord, He is God; He made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving And into His courts with hymns; Give thanks to Him; praise His name; For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And his truth is from generation to generation. ~~Psalm 99~~
I have known some priests who have survived the big C, and it was a life-changing event for them.
They are some of the holiest priests I have known. One is a Serbian priest, and he said it was a miracle.

Lord have mercy. However, I was very encouraged that Patrick Swayze lived almost 22 months with this kind of cancer (he was told on each dr's visit that he probably had 3 months to live). I never thought he would live that long. I pray that the treatments will work with Fr. Michael.

I will make sure that our priest is aware of this, so that he can maybe put him in the appropriate petitions in the liturgy.
