I have cancer

Back, in July I went to the hospital for a colonoscopy. I had been having blood in my stools. To make a long story short the doctor told me I have colon cancer.

In August Dr. Malik performed surgery on my colon and removed the cancer. Unfortunately it had in the meantime spread to my liver. The cancer is very advanced into my liver (level 4).

Since November I have been receiving chemotheraphy treatments at the Allen Blair Cancer Clinic here in Regina,Saskatchewan. The plan is for me to have chemo treatments until June and if at that time the tumors in my liver are really reduced in size then I will be sent to Edmonton,Alberta for surgery by a liver cancer surgeon.

The obvious question is -- what if it is not possible for me to have the surgery ? Then my life span is going to be reduced dramatically.

At first I was very afraid but in recent weeks my faith in God and the love of family and friends
have been very encouraging to me. Simply stated: I am not afraid to die.

It is my heartfelt hope that you will pray for me. Please pray for me that God will give me the courage and strength to face all of this with courage and dignity.
