Jeff, I'm very sad to hear for your ilness, but if it means something to you, one my friend told me few months ago that she was diagnosed cancer in developed stage. Today, the cancer is gone and she's healthy. Don't lose hope and faith in God. Our prayers are with you.

Thank you my friend.

My faith is strong. I have already seen and experienced several miracles with this...and my faith right now is probably stronger than it has ever been.

It is in His Hands and I trust God the Father and His Son completely. They know what is best...I can just do my best knowing that His love and atonement have purchased me.

I know were I am going to be when He calls...and I do not fear it. I have lots of loved ones already there...and in ood time...in His time, my wife and kids will join us there should He call me soon.

Thank you for your prayers, and your encouragement. God bless you for them and may He rturn them on you and yours ten fold...may His countenance shine upon you.

Jeff
I didn't know until today I am sorry to hear it. My pray is with you Keep up the faith and find strength in the family and prayer

Did what I can spare for an art college student.
Probably not much in the case of treating cancer, but I wish every bit counts.

Wish you a full recovery.
Cancer is what it is, random genetic mutation. Its behavior is completely random.
As abc123 said, even in later stages it is still possible to be cured.
Be happy and don't lose your hope.
Keeping laughing at cancer and cancer will be scared and run away.

You have demonstrated your good faith in god and if he's there, he would certainly be watching over you.

Thank you Hendrick...I cnnot tell you how much I appreciate every encouragement and every prayer.

They all help...He hears them all.

Right now, with the condition being diagnosed as terminal, I am waiting for things to proceed according to God's will. How long that will taek, and what exact course...I do not know. But I am okay with it. I have been richkly blessed throughout life, despite whatever hardships and I know God in Heaven and my Saviour love me and that they care about me and are involved directly with what is happening...and that in the end, it is for the best.

Lot's of hearts ave been touched, and a lot of faith in GOd has grown...some within my own family...things I would willingly give my life fore.

Thanks again, and may God return the blessing ten fold to you and yours.

Thank you for the encouragement and the words of hope.

I have not lost hope. My hope remains in Jesus, my Savior and I know where I am bound, and I know what He has done for me...and the eternal hope that gives transcends any hardship I face.

I have a wonderful living family and so many good friends. Some of whom I have never met here in person, but have interacted wth for years.

God bless you for your encouragement and may He cause His light to shine upon you and his countenance to light your way too.

Thank you for the help...I learned long ago that it is far more important the feelings that prayers and encouragement are given, than the actual monetary worth of them. But God bless you and as say to others, may he return the blessing to you ten times over!

Jeff Head said:

Thank all of you, and God bless you, for your kind words, your encouragement...and most importantly your prayers and faith.

Also to all of those who have helped monetarily, no matter ho small...thank you. I do not expect to be around a long time now...and we spent a large part of my 401K (taking out loans against it) to help fight this. So it is really to help my wife, who is already burdened with taking care of her bed-ridden father. She is an angel and does so willingly...I just pray the good Lord takes me before I reach such a state.

But as always...it is in His Hands. When I say, as I have done s many tome on this fourm thatt "time will tell." that is what I really mean. In the end He is in charge, and it will work out for the good according to His will.

My dear friend, I am deeply saddened by the news and was unaware that your health has deteriorated. We will pray for you and your wife and that God my ease your suffering. You are a true gentleman and an inspiration to all of us. Your faith in the all mighty, your wisdom and your friendship is an inspiration to all of us. Speaking for myself you have made me reflect on my life and attitude and have helped me become a better man and brought me closer to God.
May the Lords gentle hand be with you my beloved friend.

I do not what to say, but i know bone cancer as a personal experience, my wife had it, i wish you the best, my wife had a very hard surgery, the advantage of bone cancer is it grows slower, if detected on time it my imply losing a bone but saving your life, my wife had her collar bone partly removed (she had 1/2 of it removed), her shoulder blade bone removed and half of her humerus bone too, only God and Christ knows our destiny, but be positive, my wife has oulived the average life span of most sufferers of bone cancers, is not uncommon, but it is hard to be one of the 30% that live more than 5 years (she has lived almost 7 years, but i can tell you a lot is mental, the willingness to live is highly important, be positive my wife was positive and she also let Christ and God fix everything, but she was positive too.

I wish you the best and i encourage you to believe in Christ as the only way to God and do not give up, healing is possible as long as we and God work together, but do not be afraid in Christ we are saved and for God all is possible.

Very sorry that you have had to go through that with your wife B787, and pray that God will be merciful and bring His complete healing to your wife, particularly for the sake of your 3 boys...I myself do not know what to say, other than your own very sound advice to commit it all to Jesus, blessings again, and especially to your lovely wife.

Thank you my dear friend.

I have had four surgeries now and the people working have been so talented, so kind, and so good. They have, with God's help, prolonged my life.

I have had the condition over 7 years now.

But they say it is terminal now because the cancer has now gotten into my liver and other tissue...jumping from the bone.

Chordoma's are known to do this...and once in the soft tissue there is no cure that they have yet.

But I am okay with that. God in Heaven and His Son have been good to me. They have preserved my life for their purpose, and I ave seen their purposes fulfilled in my life with family, friends, and people I never even knoew before they heard about my condition and stroy and then contacted me.

Keep the aith...God is always faithful.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers, your faith, your encouragement, and your kindness.

At this stage if things went quickly I could live only a few months...but they could also go slowly and I could live lnger. As I say...it is in God's Hands now...and I am fine with that. I trust Him completely.
