Praise and Request

[Don]

So Monday I accepted a promotion.

Wednesday, my youngest daughter turned 18 (still at home, along with a 15-year old boy).

And this morning, my wife was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Won't have the actual biopsy report til around next Wednesday. Appointment with a specialist has already been made.

Roller-coastal of a week. Prayers are appreciated.

Sounds like it. You and your family are certainly in my prayers.

 

[Benjamin]

You and family are also in my prayers.

 

[annsni]

I just saw this and will immediately pray! Any word yet?

 

[Gib]

Lifting you and family up in prayer.

 

[Scarlett O.]

I am praying for your whole family.

PET scan was completed Thursday. Technician said he wasn't officially allowed to say anything, but he saw only the one spot. Surgery on Monday; if the pathology comes back as stage one or two, then the surgery should be the end of it.

Thank you for your prayers. Please keep 'em coming.

 

[annsni]

Surgery on Monday. Thanks for letting us know!! Please post an update when you are able!! Praying that they don't even find that spot.

 

[Don]

Surgery went well. Doctor didn't see any other indications of cancer. We'll have the pathology report back by Friday. She's home and doing well.

Thanks for the prayers!!!

That's great news, Don. I guess it'll be a belated prayer, but I'll pray for you tonight.

 

[annsni]

That's wonderful news!! I'm praying she heals quickly and the pathology report is the best it can be.

 

[Don]

Just got the pathology report; Stage 3. Only one lymph node. Surgeon thinks chemo without radiation; we're setting up an appointment with an oncologist.

More to come.

UPDATE: My wife finished her last chemotherapy session last week. CT scan yesterday showed no signs of cancer. We now go on a periodic scan schedule for the next couple of years.

Thank you much for the prayers!

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Don....and the prayers will continue. Praise God for here being clear.

God bless :godisgood:

That is great to hear Brother Don, my wife also just finished a bout with breast cancer and in case you and other don't know this is Breast Cancer Month... Went through surgery and chemotherapy and was a witness for the Lord in all she went through... Strong in the Faith as I also am... We put our hands in the Lord as he always knows what he's doing... Second time for me as I lost my first wife to kidney cancer 11 years ago, so saying that it was quite a trial for me but as I say I surrender to the will of God. He has helped me in the past in ways I can't elaborate on... Only to say he has always been there and will always be there for his children... Pray your wife hears nothing but good reports and my prayers go out to you and your family... Brother Glen

Returned from the city today (even the hotels have better internet than I do at home!); invasive scan this morning was clear. Have to wait for cancer doctor's analysis, but looks like she won't have to do that again for 3 years. 4 months since last update, still cancer free! Thanks for all the prayers!

 

[annsni]

That is really great news!!! I'm so happy for you both!
