SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: CARDINAL FRANCIS GEORGE TO HAVE CANCER SURGERY


Cardinal Francis George

I just finished watching WGN news and learned that Cardinal Francis George is scheduled to undergo surgery tommorrow to treat bladder cancer that was recently diagnosed. The surgery will take place at Loyola University Medical Center on Thursday.

Cardinal George told the bishops that he expects to be in the hospital for about a week, but that his convalescence would probably take more than a month, as he is having the entire bladder removed.

He was in remarkably good humor and even joked with the media. He said he and his doctors decided his whole bladder will be removed rather than chemotherapy.“I didn’t want chemotherapy because I didn’t want to lose my hair,” he joked. You can view a video clip

Please join me in praying for him. Thank you!
