    Bless your faith and rare attitude. "T" is pretty rare.

    Faith arranged the medicine
    Although it seems that faith is not the #1 topic anywhere these days, where do you turn when medical science has nothing to offer? Even before that point? So many doors have been opened, in exact sequence, at precisely the right time, that this was no matter of luck or coincidence. Of that, I am certain. It was the prayers of many.

    Faith of Every Kind
    I'm non-Christian - I'm Pagan. But, I always said I do not discriminate, I accept prayers of all denominations! :) Prayer in any religion or spirituality is pretty much the same, and every single bit of it helps. I'll pray for you, you pray for me. We'll all pray for one another. Much prayers to you all!

    Po,

    My undergrad study was mostly in secular philosophy and theology. I have studied Eastern religions (Buddhism, Taoism) extensively as well.

    There is no name but the One. You are correct in how and why you were healed.

    My opinion,

    Hi Max,

    I had Lymphoma at a young age and was at Stage 4 and had no symptoms besides bulges pertruding around my Lymph nodes. I know that Lymphoma symptoms are night sweats and weight loss, however, there are MANY things that could be of result to this. My main concern either way is the massive weight loss in a week. I hope for the best!

    Hey Mona.

    I have not encountered you here before. If cancer was long ago for you, are you OK today ?

    Hi Max,

    There are many things that can cause these symptoms and cancer
    is one of them (lymphoma). His immune system is reacting to something.

    He should get this thoroughly checked out and have some tests done.
    Hopefully it was some kind of infection.

    I'm assuming he saw a doctor?

    Cat,

    I spoke with him about a week ago (I work pretty independently, and he calls only occasionally). He said that he is still weak, and feels "funny," and "disoriented."

    He did not mention sweating, but did say he had lost more weight. He is a "fried chicken" king of guy, not one to diet. I mentioned up front:

    "I'm not your mom, and I am not going to mention this again, but I believe that you have a serious need to get to a doctor." He replied with something like, "Yea, I think I will."

    I hope it works. I shall advise.

    Maggie made a post elsewhere regarding shingles that I will mention here to you, since you are the most knowledgalbe on that topic, it seems to me.

    thanks,

    max
