Lord in heaven my brother is having surgery on 22 January (next Monday) to have his throat cancer removed. This surgery will take up to 8-10 hours, he will be slit from ear to ear under his jaw and his jaw will be broken at his chin for the surgeon to get to the back of his throat to remove the cancer there, in his tonsil, and lymph nodes that were affected by the cancer. He will have a skin graft taken either from his arm or his chest depending upon the hole that needs to be plugged in the back of his throat. My prayer to you is that number one he survives being sedate 8-10 hours and that the cancer has shrunk to a smaller size so the hole won't be that big in the back of the throat to be plugged. I pray the surgeon does a fantastic job in removing his cancer and that he will survive this ordeal with minimum impact to his breathing again (trach must be intact before surgeon begins to allow him to breath druing surgery), learning to swallow again and eat again, and talk again. This is a radical surgery so please have mercy on him and help him have peace of mind that he will survive and wake up from anesthesia. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray oh Lord. Amen! Appreciate all the prayers we can get to help him throughout this ordeal, especially on the 22nd of January (next Monday).

My brother Mike just got through and survived the impossible when he blew out a hole in his esophagus over two inches. It took 3 months for the esophagus to heal while he was being feed through a tube directly going to his intestines. During this time he couldn't eat or drink for 3 months--can you imagine? Finally after a month in a rehabilitation center learning to eat and drink again without aspirating, he was able to come up to his parents house at the age of 59. Just a couple days ago found out that he now has tonsil cancer and about a thumb print of cancer in the back of his throat. From his incident he went through early this year he was down to 115 pounds and now at 128. Before he went into the hospital he was 145 now he his confronted with throat cancer and we will find out today if it is in fact cancer and what type of cancer. So Father in heaven have mercy on my brother Mike. He has been through so much and now facing the prospect of yet another tragedy. We need your support Lord and I don't know if I even have the reserves to go through yet another crisis with my brother but I know somehow you will be there too through it all. I believe in the power of group prayer. I am convinced that hundreds of people where praying for my brother and God gave him the resolve down deep to survive and the professionals he needed to do so. Please pray for my brother for God's strength, healing, and professional medical staff through the Lord's guidance to help my brother survive another tragedy once again. My brother being alive today is truly God's miracle through prayer.
