Cancer Sucks

Prayers to your family. I hope mine stays gone. I lost my Mom years ago because it ended up in her Liver. I advise anyone at some point to get a Colonoscopy.
 
Prayin'. You gotta lead him to Jesus, if he does not know Him.
Right now I feel like I'd be the wrong one to do that. Have talked recently with another ODT'er about faith. It is in short supply and has never come easy. I have so much admiration and even envy for you who are strong in it. Maybe it's like a muscle that needs exercising, I don't know.
I feel like it disrespects the reason for my post to go on and on about my inadequacies which are many. Maybe a separate thread about faith and related things later.
Sorry to ramble, and thanks

My Mother had 3 brothers. One died about 10 years ago of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was bad. Now she is about to lose another brother to colon cancer that has metastasized everywhere. End stage, he's receiving hospice care at home. They are just managing his pain.

This is a man who almost always has a gap-toothed smile on his face, is super smart and quick with the jokes. Usually dirty ones. He was healthy all his life, almost never went to the hospital much less spent the night in a hospital bed. Was hurting, knew something wasn't right and did not see the doctor until late late. What's more, his robust immune system actually worked against him during the treatment he received.

I'm not used to doing this. I'm asking for prayers for Uncle Billy, his wife, son and daughter. And also for my Mother, who is taking this really hard. I am fairly certain prayers would be better received if they came from her, but mine will have to do for now. Thanks for listening.


I have been, there. I still have Cancer. I will Pray for your Uncle and entire Family!

Yes it does...I know people that lived like a bat out of hell with numerous bad habits that lived to their 80's ...Also knew people people that ate veggies no drinking nor smoking an passed around the same time.It would be nice to know how to beat it.
 
Prayers to your family.

I was in a bad spot 20 some years ago. Stage 4, spread all through me, lungs, liver, lymph nodes. The books
(that was pre-internet) said I was a goner.

Good luck to him. God has a plan for each of us.
