Updating for Nov 30th

I need to bring everyone up to speed on what has been happening lately. I had a scope done of my urinary tract last Tuesday afternoon. The doctor said that there is a stricture in my urinary tract that is to close to the muscle to be removed, so he dilated it to try and get it to open up more. He also took a biopsy but we haven't heard back of that yet. I came home from the hospital with a catheter in for a week. I went to see him yesterday (Monday)after taking out the catheter myself in the morning I saw him in the afternoon. I still could not pee. So it was decided I would start to catheterize myself at home 4 times a day in hopes that it would open up and start to flow again. As you can imagine this is not very comfortable to do.

Please pray that things will work themselves out and begin to work more normal.

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving day last Thursday.

God bless you all as we begin to look forward to the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Remember the reason for the season we are going into.

Update for Nov 17th

I continue to lay on the Bio-mat for an hour a day and we continue to see small changes in the tumor behind my left ear. Also my energy level and appetite have come back up some. I think things seem to be moving in the right direction. As of the end of Sept. I was going down hill pretty fast and didn't think I would make it to the end of the year, but since laying on the Bio-mat things have really changed for the better.
Our trip to Haggerman last week was a interesting one. I saw a Reflexologist. Through the bottom of my feet he was able to open and close my lympnode system to help move the toxins from my body. It was pretty amazing.

I am also drinking a coffee drink that has Ganoderma Lucidum (the Red Mushroom) in it. It is suppose to help with the immune system and fighting cancer. Getting and keeping the immune system at it's peek is a big part of fighting and eliminating the cancer cells.

I am still wearing a catheter. I go in next Tuesday to get scoped. I will be doing this scope on Tuesday afternoon. Please pray that we can resolve this urinary issue and that I can get back to normal.

Well that's about it for now. Linda and I both thank you for all your prayers. We hope that everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving Day next week. We have much to be thankful for. God has really blessed Linda and I with wonderful family and friends. We really love you all.

God Bless You

New Update 11-9

Hello Everyone,

I have been laying on the bio-mat for about three weeks now(1 hour per day)and have seen some small changes in the tumor behind my ear. It does appear to be getting smaller in size and shape. Also the left side of my face seems to be getting better as far as the drooping eye and mouth. I trust that the other tumors we can't see are also changing in size.

As I stated in the last update I have for the last 2 weeks been battling my other issue. The stricture in my urinary tract closed off so I had to make an emergency trip the the doctor. Since that first trip to the doctor I have been to the hospital, once to ER and another 2 times back to the doctor. I still am unable to go so as we speak. I am wearing a catheter for the next several weeks until I can get in for surgery. The doctor is out of town all this week and the next opportunity to get a scope done is Nov. 23rd. As many of you know this is very uncomfortable and kind of limits what I can do.

Linda and I are headed to Haggerman, Id this Thursday to see a Alternative doctor down there. He treats patients from all over the US and it is hard to get in to see him. We hope to get some more advice or help with my fight against cancer.

Once again thank you all for praying for Linda and I. Our trust in the Lord and the prayers of our faithful friends are what gets us through each and every day.

God Bless you all,
