We will all be sure to keep you in our thoughts and prayers next week. This group seems to do a lot of good in seeing folks thru difficult times, so I know you will be fine.

Those prayers are headed your way from out here in the Desert of Arizona, Paul. We'll be pulling for you. Blessings on you and your family.

Paul,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Try not to worry too much. We are all thinking about you and wishing you the best.

Thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers! It sure does help knowing that I have so many friends here on the Collector Forums! I will try to post by the end of the week to let you all know how I am doing.

Thanks again,
All my best,
Paul Conlin

The Bradys will be there praying and pulling for you , Paul. I will ask Sue to put you on her church's prayer chain also.. The CEO of the company that owns our station had the same operation three years ago and has a clean bill of health going on.. May you have the same results in your operation!!

We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers, Paul. The miracles of modern medicine will take care of your problem.

Lorna & Bob

Paul,

My thoughts & prayers are with you throughout this ordeal. I know the days leading up to the moment of surgery can be guite traumatic, so try to rest easy.

I'm pulling for you, my friend, and wish for you the very best outcome.

Judy

Paul you've got lots of friends here on the Collector Forums sending you prayers for a successful outcome and speedy recovery. We'll all be thinking of you on Tuesday. Best of luck.

Hoping to hear from Paul sometime soon. His surgery was today. Let's keep those prayers coming in for a speedy recovery.

I'm sure Paul will do fine. I sincerely hope that whenever events like these happen that it will somehow be a learning experience for everyone. Bad things can happen to good people.

As a cancer survivor, I know the importance of early detection. Doctor visits and checkups will save your life. The miracles of modern medical technology will save your life, if you let them.

Nothing is more stressful than being told you have cancer. The first priority is to get rid of it. The second priority is to be told you are cancer free. The third priority is regular checkups to make sure you remain cancer free.

God bless Paul in his time of need and we all wish him a speedy recovery.

Bob

Hi Paul,

Our prayers are on the way to you for a get well recovery!

God's blessings to you!

Mary and Herm

This is to let you all know that Paul is home and doing fine. I just got off the phone with him and he sounded in good spirits and even spoke of returning to work soon. Paul really appreciates all of the well wishes and prayers for him from his friends all across the country.

Here's another wish for your speedy recovery Paul from Ron & MJ
(CT Keepers)

Sounds like great news! Thanks for keeping us informed Ron.

Paul - we'll still keep those prayers coming! You hang in there.

Sounds great, thanks for the info, Ron!

I heard from Paul too and he says he is taking life easy. I would like to quote some of what he said because he would like more of you men to take a lesson from him...

"I have a follow up visit in about a month and then I go for a blood test in June to see how my PSA level has hopefully dropped! They implanted 58 radioactive seeds into my prostate to kill the cancer cells. I guess you could say I must be glowing! I want everyone to know about Prostate Cancer (especially the guys) who should all get a blood test to check their PSA levels. My level is 8.3. My father-in-law had the same procedure done 10 years ago, his level at the time was about 7 and now (he just turned 83 years) it is below .01. This goes to show that this procedure does work!"

To further quote Paul..."Words can not express my appreciation to you and all of the members of the Collector Forums for all of your kind words and prayers! Thank you so much! I never knew I had so many wonderful friends."

It is nice to hear the positive news for Paul. I hope he has continued good health for a full recovery.

Thanks for the updates on Paul. Glad to hear that he appears to be on the upswing, and will continue to keep him in our prayers and thoughts.

If you'd like to send cards to Paul, send me an email.
