I'll be away for awhile...Please continue to Pray

[imported_OleTob]

I had two more test done yesterday and today...I had a CT scan and a PET scan done and went to visit my onocologist this morning...I have thyroid cancer and many tumore around my esophagus and heart some the size of grapfruits and some small...I'll be going into Holsto Valley probably Monday after I visit him again...They wanted e to go today but I wanted to spend the weekend with my wife and family because i've yet to find out what kinds of cnacers these are...I know the Thyroid is either Papilary or Anaplastic and they seem to think the ones in my chest area are Lymphoma but not 100% sure untill they do surgery on my lymph nodes and find out...I'll be over there if any of you guys wanna come by dunno what room but my Name is Elbert Salyer with Toby being my Nickname.

I know for sure they are starting Chemo Monday and I'll have a Lympmh node surgery along with the removal of fluid from my Heart and Lungs...Sunday I plan on doing something I've needed to for a long time...I'm giving my life to the Lord and regardless of what happens i'll know that i'll get to go home...Once again Thanks to all whom have prayed and continue to Pray for me and my family in this time of need I need all I can get...Especially since my wife may be losing her job soon.

Thanks Again:

I don't know you personally, but I can still lift you up in prayer. Here are some words that might bring you comfort.

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you....

May you be content knowing you are a child of God....

Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

You'll be all right, Tob. Just hang in there bud.

Good luck man, regardless of what the doctors tell you "Dont give up, dont ever give up." The late Jim Valvano said this and the man did exactly that. I'll make you a deal Tob when you go to the GC/PV game this year at Legion Field you come find me and I'll buy you a hotdog.

Tob you are a fine person, I wish you all the best my friend. I will continue to pray for you on a daily basis. Just keep on fighting and the good lord will take care of things. God Bless You Tob!

And I'll be there to buy the fries and drink to go with that hotdog. The 3 of us can discuss your recovery.

Cancer is a scary word for anyone. You are headstrong and an Ole Blue Devil so everything will work out fine. Sunday is here my friend, You are a True Brother now. Your Eternal Life is all that matters.. Stay strong and we'll be praying very diligently for you!!!!!!

[Bettyboop]

Even though I don't know you, I hope this can comfort you in some way. I've been there.



What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away at peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the
resurrection.

To my GC brother Toby.
Just another battle my brother. You have the PM's i sent you.
I think Indian Dad said it best. What is your motto Toby.
Your my pal, my buddy, my friend.
And it's only 5 months till football season.
I'll see you before then. And i'll see you then.
I know it's scary.
But you know nothing we havent' been through that hasn't been scary.
Old saying bro. been there done that and got the t-shirt.
I'll be seeing you bro. How many ole t-shirts do we have.
And i know for me and many on this board, our prayers and thought will be with you.
And when it's over and your ok. And football season is here, we all will get together at a few games.
