SAMMY YOUNGBLOOD

Just talked to Joyce Rushing Youngblood. Sam is home for now; the boys are with them. Going to Winfield tomorrow am for PET scan, meet with surgeon on Thursday. Sam is on antibiotics for now. Radiation and chemo starts right away. Surgery will be in about a month. I talked to Sam briefly; he is very week, still in some pain, and has no appetite. Winfield Hospital has a complete cancer diagnostic and treatment center. Continue to lift them up in prayer.

CANCER

Sammy is my younger brother; he was diagnosed today with colon cancer. He faces surgery and chemo. Pray for his wife Joyce and their family.

I am the oldest of five. My mother and father, younger brother an younger sister died with cancer; my two remaining siblings now have cancer. Cancer is a dreaded word isn't it.
