For the full story you can see the topic in the prayer section of CMR:

Dale Huffman is the host of Metal Pulse Radio, he has been a longstanding contributor to the Christian metal community through his work in Metal Pulse. He has been in and out of the hospital through November with extreme health problems and things are not looking great. To summarize though he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, was given 6 months to a year to live. However he recently was back in the hospital and was given 1-2 weeks. Here is the most recent update from their gofundme page:
Update, 11/21/15:
Things have taken a turn for the worst. Dad has been having bowel and throwing up issues. They did another surgery last night to try to find the cause.
They found that the large tumor in his intestines has occupying both the large and small intestine. This caused perferations in his intestines. His bowels have been emptying into his abdominal cavity.
The doctors did the only thing they could do, a quick fix.
They said that this is it, and he has a week or two left to live. They said that it's time for family to come and say their goodbyes.
So, I, my sister and her husband will be flying down to say our goodbyes on Monday.
Your thoughts and prayers are still very much needed as we go through this.
If you still want to donate, my mom would greatly appreciate it. There are copays and end of life costs that she is still going to have to take care of.
She is going through all of this and looking at being a single parent to a 2 year old.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and who has offered their kind words of support.

Now we know that its never too late for God to miraculously heal him, but regardless of the outcome his family will have lots of fees and they have setup a Go Fund Me campaign if you feel led to donate for support. I would like to encourage anyone who can to donate to help support his family:

Whether you know Dale or not, or whether you listened to Metal Pulse or not, he has been serving the Christian metal community for a long time through Metal Pulse Radio. Even if you can only afford to give $10, every bit will help.
And of course Dale and his family could also use all of our prayers.
