    Father this friend of ours has reached out to us and asked us to call on you on his behalf. We're doing that now. Reveal Your Loving kindness to him and show him that you are God. Give him peace in knowing that you are the great physician and can do all things. I pray that you will hear him and give him what he needs. In your son's name Jesus Christ.

    I hope you can beat this cancer. No one is immune to cancers and my prayers for you to beat this is going from me to you. I have a brother who is battling prostate cancer for six years. He is with me at a wedding. My God I have ask to bless you and give you the strength to beat this and fight. Hoping for a good outcome for another football fan and human!

    You've got this Dawg. As a stage 3 cancer survivor I can tell you first hand your attitude is everything. The fact you are healthy otherwise will help you through chemo, should you need it. Also, I found that you have to only focus on what is immediately in front of you, do NOT try to assume the future outcome.

    All the best and enjoy the games today!

    Play the song, Too Good Not To Believe over and over. Christ is the healer. I’ve witnessed and experienced too many miracles. He can cure!

    Thx for thinking of an old Dawg.

    I'm in Houston now. Had 3 suspicious lymph nodes back in August, down to one node 2 weeks ago and the biopsy yesterday preliminary results are non-cancerous. That would mean the tumor in the liver is the only problem.

    Meet with two treatment teams this coming week - will be doing radioembolization (y90 radioactive isotopes) or proton beam to shrink and hopefully eradicate the single tumor. Surgery out for now due to cirrhosis.

    Trying to make informed decisions from info provided by great doctors. Ultimately, it’s all in God’s hands.

    Still feel great, playing golf Monday on an “off” day, lifting weights, walking a mile a day.

    You Gators lifting me up has been inspiring and I genuinely appreciate it.

    Thanks for the update. If I understand correctly, does this mean it has not spread outside the liver?

    Prayers for your treatment decisions!

    All of us come to realize that there are things much more important than sports...than football.

    Sounds like you've made some great choices around your professional medical care.

    May God continue to guide the professionals surrounding you. We all hope and pray that you'll beat the big "C".

    Sports are there for glory and annoyance depending on the year, but knowing people care makes the most difference in life. Blessings from your brethren at Gator Country.

    Be well, ya old Dawg!;)

    Go Gators.:)
