He has a tumor in his spinal cord in his neck which was operated on as best they could about 15 years ago. Then a few years ago we found out he had colon cancer which was completely removed. Then not long after that we found out the colon cancer had moved to the lungs prior to removal. And now a brain tumor. He's been through a lot. But he's been strong and as positive as can be. So if you would, please pray for him and add him to your church prayer lists if possible. We would greatly appreciate it.

From reading that, it's obvious that this one tough man. He's did this before several times, I'm sure he can do it again...not a doubt in my mind. He'll be in my thoughts and I'm sure in many from a good family that's helped him through this before. Hoping for the best, cancer is a terrible thing, but he/I/countless others are living proof that it can be beat.

I just lost a friend to cancer. He left behind a wife and three young children. Also, another friend found out his mother has cancer and yet another friend found out her sister has cancer. Another friend is facing surgery sometime soon.

I've been informed from a couple of sources that Coach Stan Wilson is at UT Medical Center awaiting a diagnosis from a lung problem. Let's keep him and his family in our prayers.

Hey y'all, we're in Nashville (been here since Sun) at Vanderbilt hospital. My dad has to have surgery tomorrow to remove a cancerous (non sarcoma) mass from his leg. It has eaten into the bone and they'll have to put some pins and screws in it. I just want to request prayer that his surgery goes well with no complications. Thanks!!!

Please remember the family of Mark Summers in your prayers. Mark, who was a doctor, passed away unexpectedly this weekend. He was only 37 and was on the 1989 State Championship Appy team. He has a wonderful wife, Becky & beautiful twins, Robert Jr & Rachel. They are all good people.
