11/6/09: Barbara Bowe has been recovering from surgery for a brain tumor and will begin 6-7 weeks of radiation treatment on Nov. 11. She is hopeful, and grateful for the many messages of support that she has received. She continues to count on our prayer.

11/6/09: “Dan Harrington is responding very well to treatments for prostate cancer. He is grateful for your many thoughts and prayers.”

11/14/09: “I want to thank the CBA members for their wonderful support over the six months since I was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer in April. Since then, I have received two major rounds of chemotherapy and the tumor has shrunk significantly, and the lymph nodes have cleared up so that the doctors are very positive on the treatment so far. After both a first and second consultation, the doctors agree that I should take another round of chemotherapy and then have surgery to remove the bladder and receive a neo-bladder, formed from part of one’s own intestines. That should take place in early January. While the disease is serious, it seems under control at present. I am feeling good and able to work and care for myself completely without any significant problems except the tiredness and slight nausea that follows chemo treatments. No doubt there will be follow-up chemo after the surgery, but the doctors think I will be able to function normally. Please keep up the prayers—they seem to be working well. Larry Boadt”
