Say a Little Prayer for my Friend

[The Reverend Floater]

He is a good guy. He has had his ups and downs and battled addictions I cannot even comprehend...and won. We all have our demons but his monkey has always been more of a silverback gorilla since I've known him, way back in high school. He has always loved a good time--he's the friend that you'd laugh about how fucked up he was at a given party. But he always was always able to fight back and get free and carry on.

He doesn't have many close friends anymore because he has sort of faded in and out of contact with those that love him, even those who live in the same town and neighborhood. Most of our closest friends haven't seen him in years because he renounced his cell phone and people he knew. Myself, living in the next state, well, I haven't seen him in 3 or 4 years.

Today I got a call telling me that he was just diagnosed with cancer and has some very tough odds stacked against him. But like my other friend, Joe stated, "if he can beat heroin, he can beat cancer."

So please say a little prayer for him--you don't need to know his name, just know he's a good guy with a good heart who's very much alone right now. Thanks on behalf of him, myself and his friends including Adolf Allerbush here.

I echo these sentiments about our friend. He's a good guy who hit it hard for several years and has had a tough go of it because of it. Recently he's made it over the hump after a tough battle through several addictions. Now getting cancer is a slap in the face but I’m hopeful he can overcome this as well. Nevertheless this is tough to hear. He's been one of my best friends for years...although as the Rev said he falls in and out of contact. His heart has always been in the right place. Anyhow, say a prayer for him. He's gonna need it.

Not that it matters in the least, but is his cancer related to his addictions?, i.e. lung, liver

Again, just curiousity. I wish your friend all the luck in the world. Cancer is a dirty whore regardless of time, location, or reason.

Not sure man. He's got thyroid cancer and it's quite aggressive. I'm sure his addictions did not help any but I couldn't say for certain if the cancer is a direct result.

Very rough. My father had aggresive thyroid cancer 25 years ago and is ticking strong today. Best wishes +++++

Best wishes. A friend is a friend. Always.

The "fuck cancer" thread, which I believe you started, comes to mind.

My many thoughts to your friend. Try and be there for him as much as you can, I know firsthand how much those bridges to friendship matter to someone battling such odds.

[skibuminwyo]

It has been said a million times here. FUCK CANCER!!! And, to paraphrase Tim, my agnostic "prayers" are with him and you guys. +++vibes+++++

[Aldo]

You said it best, if he can beat H he's equipped to fight C.
Support him face to face, all the prayers in the world can't beat your mug up in his grill as much as possible encouraging him.

Be strong rev's friend, be strong!

[ICEHOCEY77]

best of luck man. +++++

Fuck cancer. Fuck it up the ass

Those bridges matter so much to anyone in a dire circumstance...

Good for you being there for him, hope all his friends rally and he gets a chance to see he is not so alone. And my thoughts are with him...

I hate cancer, more now than I ever have. I hope your friend makes it through the tough times ahead.

I wasn't going to mention this for a while, but seems fitting to ask for a little prayer as well for my older sister who we found out has a cancerous tumor on her kidney. They will remove it and we'll know if it's spread or not.

Many prayers or "vibes" or whatever you want to call them for these people w/ cancer. So unlucky.

I don't pray but, vibes.

Jeff passed away last night after finally relinquishing the battle. From what I heard, his last month was not a comfortable one and it was time to let nature run its course. I love you Jeff and I'm sorry.

[teleee]

Fuck! Vibes to his family, you and the rest of his family. Cancer sucks!

[Woodsy]

Cancer sucks

sorry for your loss.

[watersnowdirt]

I'm so sorry Rev and Adolf and all who knew him.

So very sorry.

[72Twenty]

Sorry to hear that Rev... vibes to all.

[Pow4Brains]

Vibes Rev.

~RIP~

[mtnjam]

So sorry to hear about your loss Rev.....damn, thyroid carcinoma is usually not that aggressive, that is unless it's anaplastic.

Rest in Peace, Jeff. Hopefully you are riding endless powder fields where your tracks are the only ones and free refills.

[Buzzworthy]

May Jeff have no more monkeys, gorillas and demons where he has gone.

[Mott the Hoople]

All the best vibes and prayers to your friend and yourself. It's hard to watch what cancer can do to somebody before it gets em. Hopefully that's not the case here.
