Please pray for my family. We got very bad news today. We found out today that my 69 year old mother is in very serious condition. She had to have a mastectomy 2 years ago because of breast cancer. We were told that it was in her lymph nodes and she went through all of the recommended chemo and radiation. Everything looked good as far as the cancer was concerned. She seemed to be doing well. Last year on election day she had a mild stroke. Apparently, the chemo had damaged her heart which resulted in a stroke. She has been in a very weak condition ever since, but, we all thought that it was due to her heart problem. Well, for the last couple of months she has been complaining of digestive problems and abdominal pain. She had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which looked good, so we were relieved about that. Today I took her to the emergency room and it looks like the cancer has spread extensively to her liver and vertebrae and maybe other places as well. I haven't told her what the emergency room doctor told me yet, I am going to wait until the doctor comes in to see her in the morning and see what he says. I don't know how to tell her the cancer is back. I'm afraid that she will just totally give up and I don't know what to do. My husband got laid off from his job today too.
We will be praying for both you and your Mother Nellie.
Thank you.
My prayers for your mother and her family. May our Lord hold her in his arms and comfort her family.
Thank you.
Praying for your family dear.
Sending prayers.
This is a very hard time for you. You don’t neccesarily need to tell your Mother the diagnosis. I lost my mother in 2003 to cancer and it is a call for everyone to come together. I pray for your family through this terrible turn of events.
Thank you for your prayers.
Very sad to hear about your news. Saying a prayer for you and your family.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.
Thank you. I don’t know how I could not tell her. She’ll know something is wrong. She knows me too well. I just hope and pray that she doesn’t just break down and give up and not try to get the most out of what time that she has left.
When my Daddy learned that his cancer had come back that is what he did.
I appreciate that very much.
Oh, NellieMae....I am so very sorry....
I’ve pinged Logan’s Prayer Warriors and trussell’s Pray-ers to this thread...they WILL be praying for you, for your Mommy, for your hubby’s job situation.
I wish I could “do” something more...
Oh no! Yes, added to prayeer list. So sorry to hear this. Is there anything, any way to help you guys in this difficult time? Will you be driving this fall?
Prayers for your mom and family. Stay strong.
I join in urgent prayer for your mother, your husband and you!
Prayers for you NellieMae.
Thank you all very much.
