Thoughts / Prayers Requested

May 22, 2010 by Tom Sepper

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.

    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

    Love,
    Rhonda Church
