Default Please Pray!!!

My best guy friend growing up Patrick has suffering from non hodkins lymphoma cancer. He was diagnosed last summer and came back against the odds, getting rid of most of the cancer as of our conversation 2 weeks ago.

Then last week he came down with pneumonia and it triggered a lot of unnecessary negatives. Both of his lungs have dropped and a white sack was found on the side of one of his lungs which either is the cancer or fluid from pneumonia. The doctors recommended his girlfriend (who we grew up with together) to allow emergency surgery to drop rapid rounds of chemo and radiation into the sack to prevent the cancer from spreading. These next few hours are very critical and the doctors are not optimistic.

I have had Patrick as a best friend since the 7th grade, he is my brother, and a fighter. He fought this cancer even against the odds, and I hope he can do the same now. His name is Patrick Clark, age 22, at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and I feel helpless in NYC. However, depending on how today goes, I will most likely fly down ASAP.

Please keep him in your thoughts, prayers, and meditations. This is truly breaking my heart, and I am trying to send positive energy only from me at this time.

On a side note, stevie's music is really connecting with me today....

Thank you so very much!

Gavin

Gavin, I am saying a prayer for you and your friend, Patrick, and his family & friends. From what you have described, he is a fighter and I pray for him to have continued strength to fight back against the pneumonia and any other negatives he is experiencing. He has a great friend in you.

My thoughts are being sent to your friend. My wife Debbie fought through Hodgkin's Lymphoma so I can relate to what it is like.

Many warm healing thoughts to your friend. I hope that he once again rallies and fights the evil cancer cells and wins!

My best best wishes to all of you.

Sincerely,

I'm so sorry. I hope everything turns out.


Not to be an a**hole, but I just did a bunch of research for a speech I had to do. Unrefined virgin coconut oil showed in a 50 year study to have significant anti cancer properties. It also kills the aids virus, and helps in the same way with tons of other health problems. The dosages vary from 3-4 to 6-8 tablespoons/day. It really has significant immune boosting, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer properties.
I wish the best for your friend so that's why I passed this along.
My grandma was 78 and came back from lymph cancer, I think your friend has a great chance.

(((hugs))).

Gavin, I just wanted to say that I'm keeping Patrick in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that he's already improving.

Please keep us up to date.
