I’m asking for your thoughts and/or prayers in the coming month.
Long story short..
I will most likely be having surgery next week to remove what appears to be a cancerous testicle. I’m posting this rather private information publicly for two reasons:
1) I am a firm believer in the power of thoughts and prayers. The support that comes from the thoughts and prayers of family, friends, coworkers, and even those people not known can and does work wonders.
2) Awareness. Not that I’m this beacon of health, but there were absolutely no signs until one week ago. It has literally appeared out of the blue. Guys – regular exams are a big deal and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
I’ll be posting semi-regular updates when possible, so your continued thoughts/prayers for me and my family would be greatly appreciated.
Tom, it goes without saying that we’ll be praying for you while you go through this scary time in your life. You’ve been a great friend to me and I’d do anything to be able to help. Just let me know and if it’s humanly possible, it’s done.
All of our thoughts and prayers are with you now.
Love, Mom and Dad
Tom,

Tom & Monica — You’re in God’s hands and He will carry you both through this. Will keep you in my prayers daily. Thanks for sharing and allowing fellow believers to come alongside you during this time. You are so right – there IS power in prayer & strength in standing together! Be blessed & healed, friend!
Love,
Carolyn
We are praying for you guys – for your peace of mind, for doctors with wisdom and steady hands, for support from friends and family, etc. Please call us if there’s anything we can do.
Tom, Carol and I will pray for you and for your medical team doing the surgery and the post surgery recovery. We also believe in the power of prayer, and will say a prayer for you at church on Sunday and ask the congregation to pray for you as well. I’m sure with your positive attitude everything will be just fine. Your dad will remember that I hired Scott Brooks to work for us at RRD in Fort Worth, and he had testicular cancer and recovered and has a family and is now living back in Vermont. God Bless, and know that all prayers are heard. Conrad and Carol
Tom and Monica,
Keith and I will definitely be praying for you and your family. I will add Tom to our church Prayer List. Monica, I know you are a strong Christian woman and your strength is found in the Lord! I’ll be praying for you all day on Tuesday. God Bless The Sepper Family!
Love,
Rhonda Church
