To All My Religious Readers
Please pray for my atheist co-host on Good God/No God, Kyle Burke.
He was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few days ago. He is 22.
After noticing some rapid swelling while on vacation, he went to the hospital, whereupon he was almost immediately given an inguinal orchietomy. The doctors have confirmed that it's definitely cancer, though they're waiting on the results of his CT scan to figure out what type and how to treat it. It looks like it might be a kind of cancer that doesn't need radiation, though they're still unsure at the moment. Chemo or further surgery will most likely be required.
Luckily, testicular cancer is the most easily treatable type of cancer, providing it doesn't spread any further.
I've been waiting to tell people until more details become available, but I can't hold it in any longer. I'm sure he will appreciate your prayers, despite the fact that he doesn't believe in God and feels it's a useless activity.
