Prayer Request and Update – Lora
Lora and I wish to thank all those (over 100 Freepers) who previously offered their kind prayers for Lora after she was diagnosed with cancer in her lower large intestine. See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4213642/posts After several weeks searching to find a cancer center, Lora and her husband decided on the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She is scheduled to begin the treatment protocol tomorrow, which consists of a combination of radiation and proton therapy – approximately twenty treatments over six weeks. The good news is that all indications seem to suggest the cancer has not yet metastasized. She naturally expressed trepidation to me in her approaching treatment ordeal and i told her, to think of the challenge as when she approached her plebe summer training at the Naval Academy where she had to focus hard and set her sights on reaching that all-important final objective - graduation. I added - just take a deep breath, dive right in, and grind your way through it. Interestingly, the doctor who is in charge of her treatment was mentored by a now retired doctor who happens to live close to the Mayo campus where Lora is temporarily renting a place to stay. As it turns out, the retire doctor happens to also be a Naval Academy alumnus. He told Lora he was going to keep a close eye on the treatment program. Please ask the Good Lord Almighty to be with Lora as she undergoes her cancer treatment and pray for a successful outcome. Many thanks to all for your consideration and compassion.

We had a family member with an un-metastasized colon tumor that was successfully treated, and she lived on for decades, dying at nearly 90. May God similarly bless Lora!
Just sent a prayer and will send more

_______________________
That’s such an important point. Looking forward and planning for more pleasant future events is so important for one’s mental health. Lora mentioned to me that since her world was turned upside down in November she hasn’t had time to even meet her brother’s infant daughter or to devote the necessary time to her own three young children. Lora has always been very active so I’m certain there is plenty motivating her to get well and move beyond the present challenge.
Prayer For All Who Are Suffering With Cancer
Loving Heavenly Father, I am coming to you of behalf of so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ that are suffering with cancer. Lord, I place each one into Your loving care and pray that in Your grace, You will comfort their heart and soothe away all anxieties.
Strengthen each one as they face a future which may be fraught with difficulties. Give them the peace that only comes from You, and I pray that You will uphold each one with the strength of Your mighty arm.
Give those that are treating and caring for these dear children of Yours, the skill and wisdom to do what is best in dealing with this destructive illness.
Father, I pray for healing of the body and health of the mind, but most of all I pray that through this trauma that has struck each life, You will draw each one of your children closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
