After working 35 years at California Polytechnic State University of San Luis Obispo, Frank Limon was looking forward to retirement. He had one year of retirement in, when on January 16th, 2017 he received news that changed the course of his life. He had been feeling ill since August 2016 but didn’t know what it was. He had lost some weight and had a persistent cough. In December, he went to the doctor and they said that he was anemic. Because of his symptoms they scheduled a CT scan and discovered on January 17, 2017 that Frank had stage 4 renal cell metastatic carcinoma (kidney cancer). Frank took it to prayer and chose to make every effort to maximize my chances of beating this diagnosis. Frank went through diet changes and surgery, but the cancer had spread to his lungs. In April of 2018 he underwent surgical removal of a portion of the right lung and is presently in the recovery mode.
Frank’s faith in God is carrying him and he is pressing through. A lifelong Raider fan, His wish is to attend a Raider’s game with his wife, who has been by his side and who continues to be a strength to him. Frank says “After receiving this news, we changed many plans and basically brought our life to a standstill. But at this point we are no longer cancelling anything. I have made a commitment to enjoy each day of my life and to continue contending for my healing and recovery. I am blessed to have the support of my wife, my children and grandchildren.”
Frank Limon’s wish has been granted and he and his wife will go to Oakland Raiders home game on November 11, 2018 and will also have on-field passes. This will be the day before their 24th wedding anniversary!
“Thank you so much for making this trip possible we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Being on the field was so cool. We were able to view our team up close and personal. Here are a few pics of our wonderful day at the raider game. Nick, the Raider representative, was a great host to us, while we were on the field.
Thanks so much for the Visa card we purchased a room in Oakland to stay the night. My wife was brought to tears when she saw the Bible. We will cherish it and of course read it. Thanks so much. We are praying for you and your ministry. You are truly touching lives and making a difference.
Once again thank you for making dreams come true. May the Lord bless you and this ministry.
Regards
Frank&Susie”
