Not sure how to broach this subject, but one of our long time brothers on this forum (took him a while to get on this new forum, but he's been reasonably active this spring/summer), is having surgery this afternoon.  He just texted me with the news...he's in pre-op.  

He would probably be pissed if I disclosed his name or the specific cancer he is being operated on that they are trying to remove.  So I best not say anything publicly.
I'll just say that he's a long-time brother, and has developed personal friendships offline with many over the years.

Sorry, I'm a bit unsettled by this news, but I know how important this Vikings passion is to him.  

None of these "thoughts and prayers" stuff for our brother...just prayers, please.

I will add, cancer sucks. Have been way to familiar with it in our family.  And also, we all need support.  I am sure your friend will not mind having others pray for his healing.
