Dear friends

I am writing this post to ask for your prayers for the wife of my cancer buddy Alan.

From May until September Alan and i exchanged over 200 e-mails.During that time i learnt a lot about Alan a 12 year laryngectomee survivor,and his family,and his support,wisdom and advice in both practical and emotional matters i was dealing with was invaluable.
Yesterday Alans wife Maggie was diagnosed with Base of Tongue carcinoma,with neck involvement.
Maggies general health is poor and she has survived a stroke and suffers from emphysema,so surgery will probably not an option.

Alan is a deeply spiritual man and an elder of his church in Scotland ,and i know he will appreciate you all praying for Maggie and his family.

Thanks guys
