Title: Prostate cancer surgery: Tom Kidwell-4/2
Post by: Doc Nock on March 30, 2013, 01:01:00 PM
I'd posted some time back that Virginia based Tom Kidwell, who moved to OK for the trad hunting, ran a muck of Prostate Cancer. He's having surgery 4/2 and I'm sure would appreciate prayers.

he's written a couple good books on bowhunting and and expose on American Feral Hog.

Prayers for this robotic procedure to be 100% effective and the cancer is contained in the prostate gland.

Keep the Son in your eyes, Tom!

Prayers for a good friend, a great hunter, and story teller.  Prayers go up Tom for a complete and full healing of this demon that has invaded your body.  God heals all that follows him.

Your prayers are very much appreciated, my friends.  I'm OK with this, and ready to get the cancer out of me & get on with life.  There is so much more I want to do.  I know it has to end sometime, but not just yet... know what I mean?  I'm going into this with a good attitude, and with the prayers of my friends, I'll be back chasing critters in no time.  Thanks again for your prayers... they have touched me very deeply.

Tom

My surgeon feels confident that he got all of the cancer cut out. Will know for sure on July 1st when I go back for 90-day follow-up tests. Hurting pretty bad right now, but just thankful surgery is over. Thank you for your prayers and e-mails! Hope to see you on the trail soon!

Praise God Himself!!!

Thanks for posting, Tom!!! Sorry you're hurting, but I can't imagine that type of surgery would NOT hurt!    :scared:    :eek:  

Prayers will continue for a zero PSA and all other good things!

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Heard from Tom last week. He said he's weaning himself off the pain pills, learning to let folks help out who offered (like mowing lawn), getting 30+ phone calls and tons of emails daily and really appreciates all the wonderful prayers and thoughtfulness he's experiencing...

Thank you Lord. He finds out soon if they got all the cancer or what might be next.

Prayers continue for Tom to have complete recovery.

Tom, I had the same surgery two years ago at MD Anderson in Houston mine had spread to one of my nymph nodes so they removed 8 nodes as well I get a blood test every 90 days so far no cancer. I tell you all this ro reassure you that even though it might have spread it is still very cureable. God Bless -----Bill Ward

Prayers continue for your improvement and to be cancer free.  You need a few good days over in the mountains at Marvins.  That seems to cure a lot of things.  See you soon my friend
