A request for prayers

I don't often ask.

For help, or prayers or anything in that vein...

However.

My best friend has FINALLY decided to go to the Emergency room on Monday. The lump gets larger and larger and is causing unbelievable pain in him so that he wimpers all night and holds his neck. He has been taking aleve or bayer aspirin as a way of combatting the pain. And vodka when it's really bad. He also has been coughing up blood.

I'm scared. He's scared.

I'm happy he's going but I need all the prayers I can for him. I am so afraid it will be career ending for him, or worse yet, life ending. It's gone on too long but I can't make him do anything about it - he has to do it on his timetable.

so I'm glad he's finally going.

Please pray to whatever supreme deity you support that this is treatable and not life or career threatening. For me. and more importanly, for him.

My advance heartfelt thanks!
