Brad Quick, pastor of First Baptist, Elyria, will have surgery next week for melanoma in his scalp. They will be taking off all his hair and removing most of his scalp.  If no cancer is found in a small lymph node in the scalp, reconstructive surgery will be performed in about a month.  If cancer is found, more cancer surgery will need to be done before the skin grafts, etc.  So far they have not found cancer anywhere else on his body. Pray that no cancer will be found in that lymph node on the scalp.

Update on David Hixson, pastor at Calvary Baptist, Sandusky, from his wife Faith:
Thanks for your prayers for our visit to the doctor in Detroit today. David's cancer is in very early stages and the doctor believes removal of the prostate will cure the problem. That's very encouraging, of course. Other treatment options remain to be investigated, but we're strongly leaning toward surgery.  Please continue to pray for us to have wisdom and the skill of the surgeon to remove all the cancer if we go the surgery route.  Thank you for your love and prayers,

Mary Davisson, pastor's wife at Canal Fulton has one more chemo treatment and then begins a series of radiation.  Pray for healing and strength to endure.
