In closing this page out, there are just 2 other things I am going to ask you to do for me, as well.
(1) PRAY for me! If you believe in God, the Father... in Jesus, the Son of God... and in the Holy Spirit... please, please pray that what I have already gone through, and what I am going to be going through in the days ahead, will result in total healing and removal of all cancerous cells from my body! PRAY that I will have a long and healthy life ahead, instead of a "possible" 5 more years!
(2) TELL SOMEONE ELSE about my website! Please, tell your family members... your friends... and everyone else you can, or know, to come here and do what you have done... which is to, simply, make one or more purchases of the products found on this website. So I will have the financial means to pay for all of my medical bills and other expenses!
In closing, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can give me through all of this! Even if you do not make a purchase, please PRAY and TELL SOMEONE ELSE about what you have read here!
Thank you!

MAY 12th, 2010 UPDATE!

Dear Friend:
Today my doctor called me and gave me the results of the blood workup regarding my colon cancer diagnosis. And, unfortunately, it
was not the news I honestly and truly wanted to hear!
The primary test that is done to see if there is a presence of cancer cells in a persons body is called a Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) test.
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), is a type of protein molecule that can be found in many different cells of the body - but is typically associated with certain tumors - and the developing fetus in women.
CEA is produced by some cancers, in other words.
The "normal" range for CEA in an adult non-smoker is less than 2.5 ng/ml and, for a smoker less than 5.0.
On April 26th, 2010, in White Salmon, Washington, blood tests revealed that my CEA level was 561.1! Which is way above the 2.5 to 5.0 "normal" range, naturally.
Blood test results done on Monday of this week, May 10th, 2010, in The Dalles, Oregon reveals that my CEA level is... now... 1054!
Needless to say, that is a significant increase in a very short period of time, or in about 15 days.
The best use of CEA is as a "tumor marker", especially for cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Which was my diagnosis on April 26th.
When the CEA level is abnormally high before surgery or other treatment, it is expected to fall to normal following surgery to remove all the cancer.
A rising CEA level indicates progression or recurrence of the cancer. In addition, levels above >20 ng/ml before therapy are associated with cancer which has already spread (metastatic disease). Again, that was the diagnosis on April 26th.
To see where the CEA level has increased from 561.1 to 1054 is surely an indication that the cancer is "progressing", and fairly rapidly apparently.
I have an appointment to talk with an Oncologist here in The Dalles, Oregon this week. But, aside from getting more information from a specialist who works in the field of cancers, there probably isn't going to be anything he can do.
I want to tell you that I honestly & truly believed in my heart that I was healed of all colon cancer on May 4th. And, because I did, I have been "hanging onto" that belief ever since.
To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not sure if I will ever let go of that personal belief, that... at some point in time... God can still heal me completely of this.
Even before surgery - which is the route I now have to follow.
As I (also) told you above, it was imperative for me to get these other tests done this week, here in The Dalles, Oregon, so I would have the "evidence"... one way or another... of what happened on May 4th.
Now that I have the "evidence" that it appears there is still cancer in my body and, apparently, that it is progressing fairly rapidly, I have to make some major life-changing decisions this week, or early next. Simple stated, the quicker the better.
In a long conversation with my daughter, who lives in Dallas, Texas... and who works in the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas... it was decided that... if the tests this week were not good... then I would move to Dallas, Texas as quickly as I could - to have the surgery done.
So I could be near her and her family during the surgery, after the surgery, and after all of the "other" things I know I am going to be going through. For those of you who have gone through surgery such as this, or know someone who has, you know that it isn't an easy surgery, nor is the recovery period easy.
So - as of today's date... that of May 12th, 2010... I am making plans to pack up and move to Dallas, Texas to go through the surgery that I speak about above!
I assure you, I am definitely not looking forward to it!!!

Would YOU Pray For Me?
_____________________________
Do YOU believe in the power of prayer? Do you pray? Does God answer your prayers?
If your answer is "Yes!" to all of those questions, would you pray for me?
Would you ask God to heal me, and to help me through the surgery that is coming?
Would YOU like to know what is going on in my life, as I go through this battle?
Would you mind LETTING ME KNOW that you are willing to pray for me?
Would YOU like to be informed and updated on what is going on with me in this battle?
You can... by, simply, filling out the Form directly below, with just (and only!) your first name and an email address that you check and use daily?
I give you my word, you will receive ONLY 1 EMAIL from me when you do that! I will NOT bombard you with dozens, hundreds or thousands of emails! Again, you have my word on that!
What I'm looking worldwide for are PEOPLE who know how to pray, who consistently have their prayers answered by God, and who will pray for me during and after the surgery for this colon cancer diagnosis!
And, I would like to know who those people are BY NAME.
That's the reason, and the ONLY reason, for asking you to fill out the Form below for me!
I honestly & truly would love to know that YOU are going to be praying for me, and that you will (also!) tell others you know to pray for me, as well!
Thank you ahead of time for doing this for me!
The email you will receive from me shortly will have a Subject Line of... "Re: Pray For Ken Butler".
So... be watching for it, even in your "spam" file, since some email servers may throw the email in that file without cause or justification.
Take care. And, may God richly bless and keep you and yours in His hands.
Sincerely,
Ken Butler
