Update on Steve.
He just got out of surgery and is going in and out cause the cocktail meds.
All went well, remove a tumor and some skin spots but so far so good.
Hopping to talk to him tomorrow if all is good
Please keep him in your prayer.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm just getting home and settled in. I'm doing well just nervous waiting on results and the plan with a 2nd cancer diagnosis. The kidney cancer is still in stable condition now melanoma is added to the fight. I'm going to continue to fight and trust in the Lord to guide us and the Dr going forward. It's been a little rough as I was originally diagnosed with the kidney cancer Dec 15 04 and was getting surgery for the new battle on the same date 12 years later Dec 14 16. Thank you all again and I'll be on again after I've got scripts picked up n kids get time with dad we've missed with my being across the state for this. You guys can't imagine what your prayers and supports power has been to us.

Any good news on our dear friend in the new year?

My mother in law and my family is in need of prayers right now.

Her name is Genra and she's 83 years old. She's currently in the ICU. She has Parkinson's , she's had several mini strokes, and a small heart attack. She also has pneumonia due to food that she eats went down into her lungs instead of stomach. Things are very bad for her at this moment and she will be in need of a feeding tube in her stomach if she has the strength enough for surgery on Monday. The surgeon told us he may not be able to do the surgery due to her fragile state.

Tough choices ahead. The doctors tell us we have 2 choices. Either put the feeding tube in and she will go to hospice, or no feeding tube and let nature take its course.

I've got a lot on my mind seeing as though I have power of attorney. Please pray over all of this. [emoji20]

Never thought I would be the one asking for prayer. I mean not that I'm bullet proof, but you just never want to be the one. Any way, my uncle Duong discovered to be stage 2 cancer earlier this week. His family especially his daughter is having a hard time dealing with everything. They are non believers. Please lift them up in your prayers, especially for Christina (the daughter) dealing with her father's cancer and for Duong's fight with cancer. Thank you

Hands to heaven for this as many of us know this battle all too well. May God embrace Duong, Christina and the extended family during this tough time. Stay strong!

I've been hesitant to share this here, but my wife and I have been trying to conceive with no luck on our own. We started seeing a specialist several months ago and have been going through fertility treatments. It breaks my heart to see tears in my wife's eyes... I ask for prayers that God blesses us with the gift of parenthood. We both know he has a plan, but waiting on it to be revealed is never easy. Thanks in advance.

Heavenly Father, I come to you today as always your loving servant to ask of you a request for Charlie and Allison to conceive a baby. This is a reward that they will cherish with their lives. They thank you for the blessings they have and for the blessing that they are about to receive. I believe in Jesus’s name that they do not take him for granted. They love you Lord with their whole heart and I know that you have not forsaken or forgotten them! Amen!

Charlie @Coastie Reefer,

I'll be praying for you both during this difficult time. Infertility is such a difficult issue for both to deal with. I will pray for grace and mercy for both of you as you deal with disappointment and sadness of not being able to conceive thus far. For her, I'll ask for a sense of closeness to the Lord as she deals with heartbreak and desperation and many women turn bitter in these situations . For you, I will ask the Lord to calm your sense helplessness as a man who wants to help his significant other and ask Him to give you opportunities to trust Him more.

I will be praying for the Lord to give you the desires of your heart and that His will would be done in this situation. I will also pray that as you spend time in prayer the Lord would reveal His will to you in this area.

I'm so blessed to be a part of this community. I am praying for all of your families that are in need of healing and peace. Also praying for God to give the gift of a child and for His will to be done.

Beautiful prayers everyone!

Thank you every one for your support and prayer. Just an update, my uncle Duong was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and is planning to go under some Chemo treatment to see how well things will be. Thank you again.

I just found this thread but will start praying for Duong. I hate cancer. It's claimed too many people I love.
I long for the day when we don't have to deal with it anymore. Whether that be when medicine finally prevents and heals cancer or through the return of Christ when death and disease is finally defeated.

Praying for comfort, healing, and ultimately that Duong would encounter the miraculous and the God of miracles in his treatment.

Prayers would be appreciated...I have suffered with waxing and waning back pain since I was 16, so 20 years now. Recently it has been more severe (also contracted Lyme disease in 2012 and it did not make my joints feel any better :confused:). I think we have finally pinpointed the lower back pain as coming from my SI joints. Upper back pain and nerve issues have not been diagnosed yet. Been through numerous chiropractors, traction, two rounds of physical therapy, dry needling, massage, and probably some stuff I am forgetting....all with no improvement.

Now moving on to the orthopedic surgeon route. Would appreciate prayer that the problem is found and the doctors are able to provide quick, permanent relief. That the hospital is efficient at booking appointments are they are not spaced out over a long period of time (3 hour round trip drive).

Blessings and prayers for you and your wife. Embrace one another other during the tough journey you face right now and may God smile upon you with the gift of parenthood.

So sorry to know you struggle with this. I actually work with a group of orthopaedic doctors and surgeons and we see this daily with the athletes and patients we treat. While surgery is usually the last resort with chronic issues, it sometimes is absolutely the right answer, especially with failed conservative treatment. Therapies can be a mentally and emotionally draining process, especially if the intended results never happen. Prayers are definitely heading your way and may the journey to surgery be without obstacles and may surgery provide the relief you seek. Stay strong. God is with you.

I'll second this. I had L4/L5 surgery after a bad accident. I was scared as the therapy hadn't worked but it was the best medical decision I have ever made. No pain, complete relief, and restored mobility and function within a few weeks of recovery. Thankful for doctors and medicine the Lord has given wisdom to fix these kinds of things.
