MINION POWER!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm getting an amazing amount of response from a recent newspaper
article that I also posted on this forum. Here's one that, while not
directly related to PCa, is in need of your thoughts and prayers.

A neighbor and friend named Jean is going under the knife tomorrow to
have more than half her colon removed for cancer treatment. She found
out only three weeks ago when she had a colonoscopy. They found a large
cancerous tumor, nearly blocking her colon. The need for surgery was
immediate and she had very little time to understand and prepare.

I just returned from her home where I spent an hour consoling her and
answering her cancer related questions. She is very distressed but is
in good spirits otherwise.

I gave her my LIVESTRONG wristband and told her that she would be in my
prayers. I also told her that I would invoke the reknowned healing
powers of the posters on this forum.

Hope you can spend a moment to think about Jean. She is 57 and facing a
very uncertain future.

If you know of any colon cancer references and/or support groups, let
me know and I'll pass them on. She is woefully uninformed.

I have other stories that may also require your services. You'll learn
of them soon. Practice makes perfect!

Thanks!
