His name is Andrew and he is a nice Christian man with a wife and 2 kids. He was diagnosed with throat cancerous cells. They initially thought the medicine would help but he just found out it has grown. The surgery is very delicate and right on his vocal chords. This surgery could cause damage to his voice forever. Now all you singers and preachers out there just imagine your voice gone. Please keep him lifted up in prayer and that God give the doctors skill and knowledge to do the surgery without damage.
