Hey man, you're in my thoughts. Hang in there - you're might courageous!
Posted by sethb at May 7, 2009 8:05 PMBest wishes Gerv. Your attitude and continued faith are an inspiration to me when my struggles lead me to question my own.
Posted by Peter Kasting at May 8, 2009 12:28 AMGerv, you are in my prayers. God Bless you!
Posted by Russ at May 8, 2009 2:11 AMYou are in the thoughts and prayers of myself, my wife, and children.

Thoughts are with you.
Posted by Tom at May 8, 2009 10:00 AMDon't stop fighting!
Posted by Dan at May 8, 2009 1:08 PMI am sorry to hear about your recurrence. My family and I will keep you in our prayers. I trust that God has a plan, but I don't pretend to know what it is!
Posted by Mark Smith at May 8, 2009 3:56 PMGerv, I believe that in this life there are very few occasions for us to "pick our own fights"
God be with you.
"Be strong and of good courage;
do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
Posted by JoeS at May 9, 2009 2:08 AMWell this is no doubt horribly un-christian, but on reading about your recurrence my immediate thought was "Bugger!"
But you have thought about these things more than I have, and have an impressively deep acceptance of God's will for you in these things.
Sorry to hear it has spread again. Hopefully all goes well and you'll have a good recovery.
Posted by Jarno at May 11, 2009 9:56 AMGood luck, you're a stronger man than most.
Wanted to say thanks, and that God's using your illness to encourage others, namely me. The link to your prior post about your cancer (and the link to John Piper's website) were encouraging.
Will pray for you.
