Friends,
Please pray for a long-time friend Lee Gibbons. He has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. He is to have surgery today at Conway Regional. I will be checking on him today and will let you know if I learn more about him.
Also please pray for our son-in-law's father Jim Tolbert. He has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is to discuss treatment options with the doctor at Dallas this morning. I will update as we know more.
Thanks and praise to God.

update on prayer requests:
Lee Gibbons: I visited him this afternoon at the hospital. He has severe kidney failure in one kidney, which is cancerous. The doctors plan to remove that kidney tomorrow or Wednesday. Today he will have a needle biopsy of one of his ribs, where there is some indication the cancer has spread. They will await the rib biopsy results before removing the kidney. If only one kidney is removed, there is hope the other kidney is (or can become) well enough to take over necessary function. Please continue to pray for Lee's restoration of kidney function and limited spread of the cancer.
Jim Tolbert: He had his consult about his prostate cancer. The plan is for him to have the da Vinci Prostatectomy procedure. This will likely be scheduled for January. Please continue to pray for Jim's health and that the cancer remain localized as the doctor believes it is presently.
My goodness.... surely will pray and pray.... thanks for the info.
His,

Update on Lee Gibbons: no surgery yet. He has been transfered (Friday) to UAMS and is undergoing additional testing, including bone marrow scan.
11-16-09 update on Lee Gibbons. Lee has been at UAMS and has been receiving dialysis treatments for his kidneys and they have been doing testing. At this point he has decided NOT to have cancer treatment nor removal of his kidney. He just wants to go home. His family is checking on hospice care and unless things change, will honor his request. They are trying to encourage him to continue with dialysis even if he does go home. Pray for God's will to be known to Lee and his family. Pray that God will minister to Lee with kindness and healing.
