A little help for my family, please

[wannacatchem]

Last week I learned that my next oldest sister’ cancer, which was in remission for over 20 years has returned. It has lodged in her lungs and spine. The doctors can’t do much and will basically monitor it and treat with drugs. In the same conversation I found out my oldest sister has esophogeal (sp) cancer and is having further test done this week to figure the extent and a course of treatment. For only the second time in the 76 years I’ve known her, I heard my mom cry.

I’m a guy, a typical, ex-military, mostly redneck, hardheaded guy. When something’s broke, I fix it. I’m not religious, and I rarely ask for help for anything I can do myself. But I can’t fix this. For the first time in my life I’m asking God to help my family. I’d really appreciate it if you could ask him too

Thanks

Wanna, God is always there to listen. He may not always answer in the way we want things here but he does listen.

Very sorry to hear of the cancer in the family. Will be praying that God will intervien.

A sister of a good friend of mine, and Ifisher, is also going through the same thing. She's only in her late 30s and has been in and out of the hospital several times, the most recent being last week. This stuff is really hard on not only the afflicted, but also the family and friends. Our prayers are with you and your sister, man. It's a tough road, but God is always there. We may not know why this stuff happens, as His ways are higher than ours. Hopefully, we find comfort in the hope that is ours through Christ.

wannachatchem,
they;ll be in our thoughts. My wife lost her dad to cancer last year. He was a stubborn old man, never showed much love. In his final months, he finally realized it was not too late to embrace those around him who loved him. Give all the love and support you can. Some tough guys with your background find it hard to do. God willing there will be some miracles, and prayers amswered. I know that even thouse of strong faith, question why tragedy occures all at once. At the very least, make the time you have with them the very best time you've ever shared with them. It's a time to bring family together and never go a moment without mending bridges, o strengthing bonds, orr telling each other how much you care.
Prayers for strength and hope.
