There are a lot of people on here that believe in the power of prayer so please keep @AUsince72 (Nathan) and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I won't go into detail and I certainly hope he doesn't mind me bringing this to your attention but he is my favorite poster on this board and I couldn't lie down tonight without reaching out to everyone. May God bless Nathan and his family and that they feel His love and comfort. Praying also for the doctors, nurses, specialists and techs in all that they do each and every day for so many.

Well, there’s obviously a reason you felt the need to reach out like this so I’m so glad you did. He is one of my favorite posters as well and has certainly fought a good fight. All my prayers and good vibes out to you sir.

@gr82be, thank you....you're WAY too kind!  No, I don't mind you spreading the word, I just wasn't going to start yet another thread.....about myself.  

With the brazen ridiculousness going back & forth in today's current political climate coupled with the covid stuff going on, I've just found the weak & sinful part of myself feeling ever harsher, disappointed, judgemental....  Because of this, I've failed myself and have just been trying to "lessen my online footprint" as I've heard it said.  And, perhaps my situation is thus because I'm not thinking & behaving as I should.

Anyway, I was slowly DM'ing those who have shown a particular interest, my updated news and asking for further prayer but since it's out, I'll go ahead and update all those who might be interested.  First of all, Thank You to those who have already replied to me personally and to this thread.  As always, y'all bring me to tears of humbleness & joy to know so many care.  Thank you!!!

That said, I have good news & bad news.  The bad news is that my cancer has returned.  Luckily, I have scans so often now that it's easy to catch things early but my lymph nodes in 3 separate areas of my body  show the return as well as some fancy blood numbers they use to determine cancerous activity.  Apparently my numbers are currently higher than they've ever been.  Okay...that's the bad news.

The GOOD news!  It just so happens that there is a trial drug being tested for cancers with certain mutations.  The Good Lord has seen fit for me to fit this mold!  I have the exact mutation this drug is primarily designed to fight (at least that's how I understand it).  So......I get to be a guinea pig, YAY ME!!!!  LOL!!!  I go tomorrow for the initial screening but then May 5th my trial (almost literaly) begins.

So, my message to those was to please, again, pray for me and hope God has HIS miracle in store for me.  However, as HIS plan is not always our plan, I ask y'all to please pray for the safety & security of my wife & 2 daughters in case of the worst.  If I'm to leave this world, that's fine with me, as there's a whole better (by a LONG shot) place awaiting me.  But my earthly self is more concerned with my family right now and seeing our nation (& world) heading in such a bad direction scares me for them.  Again, please pray extra for them as they are my life!

Note: even if this doesn't work, that's not the end.  I'll keep fighting & trying new things as long as I have breath....but we just don't often know the Lord's plan, so we must always be prepared.  Im praying this new drug is the miracle I need.  Thank you so much for your prayers too!!!

Once again, I'm way over the top wordy....I apologize.  But thank you for your time, love & support!

God bless you all, truly!!!

Nathan

We've got you covered, Nathan! Let us know what you need.

Thanks Brother Bird!

Just need the prayers for now.  We have been SO BLESSED it's truly amazing, and we really want for nothing right now.

....well, except for healing, of course. 😁

Heavenly Father, please cover our brother with Your mercy and grace.  Please guide doctors and Nathan to make the best decisions, and restore him back to good health.  We pray this new medicine will drive the cancer out.  Many prayers for peace are lifted for him and for his family. I ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen 🙏🏻
 

I’ve begun typing out my prayers, so that I will say them right away and so that I will focus more on exactly what I want to say.  I’ll continue to pray for you privately as well @AUsince72
