on may 15 2006 i was diagnosed with lukemia (CML). cml is the best kind to get if your goona get it.the DR. started me on the "wonder drug" gleevic and i was doing very well. most people on this drug get very close to being cured while on it .then theres me. the drug quit working for me and now i am on a new drug, a little more heavy duty than the last but not expected to work just slow things down a little. i am on the bone marrow registry looking for a doner.its been two months and no match has been found. i was told today that my DNA is comon....... except that the order is mixed up a little which makes it very hard to find a match. now the DR. is talking about a new experimental procedure. a pastor once told me ," nothing happens to us whithout it crossing GODS desk and him giving it his stamp of approval." if he stamps it i must be able to handle it! now the prayer request. first , for healing.second,a donor. third,stength for my family. i have three children my oldest is 16 and youngest is 9. my wife lost her mom shortly after i was diagnosed. fourth , and this is the most important .....what am i suposed to learn from this . i know the more of gods people that pray the better. my sister has a page here, and i ask that you check it out. look for , resqshu911. she has some good info on it if you would like to be a doner, not just for me ,but for others. thank you!!
st. f`s helper,
i covet your prayers greatly !!!!GOD is still the "great physician" ,and still is in the miracle business. if he chooses to heal me that would be great. if he chooses not to heal me that would be ok too.you see whatever his plan for me , i know it will be ok cause its his plan. its also ok cause i trust what the bible says about those who trust in the Lord(romans 8:28). i know that God has given me this oppertunity to show his greatness and his faithfullness to me and my family . like i said in my prayer request i would like to know what i should learn from this and how to bring glory to HIM through this. there is a song called "Bring the rain " by Mercy Me in the song theres a line in it that says , basicly if jesus could suffer the cross just for me whats alittle rain in my life.i look forward to talking to you and am thankfull for the prayers of you and your church.
Brian,
I hate to hear that you are having health issues, but I must say that it is so encouraging to see your faith in this time. I would just like to share a verse with you, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."(Romans 8:28 KJVR) God does have a purpose in this and it is for the good of those who love Him. You and your family will be in our prayers.
thanks for the prayers , they worked i was informed tuesday that a doner was found for me . i do appreciate the thoughts and would ask that you not stop praying. BRIAN
thank you so much for the prayers !!! i know there working cause i got great news today . the transplant doc. said that my blood work is holding its own on the new drug and i can wait till january sometime for the transplant. thats good news cause the process takes about thre months or so in the hospital. that would make for a rough christmas for my wife and kids. so please keep praying that my blood continues to behave. thanks again ,BRIAN

Brian,
I will be praying for you and your family. God wants you to "Be still and know that I am God." It's in our most desperate times that He draws us near to Him. I will pray that you will be so fine-tuned with Him that you hear everything He is telling you. I don't know anything about bone marrow typing, but I'm gonna find out. If we match, I will gladly give my brother in Christ some marrow. I will be in touch with you. Tell your wife that she is in my prayers, too. I am very sorry for her loss.
