Prayers For My Dad
Self | 05/19/2010 | Captain Peter Blood

Posted on 05/19/2010 12:20:57 PM PDT by Captain Peter Blood

At times I have seen others asking for prayer for a loved one.

Today I am asking for prayers for my Dad.

At luuch yesterday, with my brother and sister in attendance, my Dad tells us that he has seen his urologist that morning and was told his PSA reading is 150. A year ago at his regular checkup it was 50.

My Dad had prostate cancer about 14 years ago and because his PSA level was low opted for the seed treatment where they place radioactive pellets in the prostate to kill the cancer cells. This seemed to work and he has been cancer free since then.

His is now 86, will be 87 in August, and has had a few health problems in the last five years including heart bypass surgery and a bladder infection. But he is remarkable in that he has faced all these adversities and bounced back and for 86 he is in remarkable shape.

As my sister says he is a beat the odds type of guy in almost every respect. Everything I know and learned about life and Conservatism I owe to him and the thought of another medical crisis is almost more than I can bear.

Well tomorrow he is having a bone scan to see if he has cancer again and if it has spread anywhere. If not then he may have to have surgery to remove the prostate.

So I would like to ask that he put on the Free Republic Prayer list, his name is Leslie and I appreciate any and all help and hope our Dear Lord hears those prayers.

If there are any doctors who read this and have any advice I am open to it.

Thank you one and all, May God Bless All of You Here.

Prayers up for your dad and family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

My understanding is PSA by itself is a very poor indicator.

Prostate is something most men will have to deal with, so God Bless and prayers for your Dad.

You will be in my prayers big time. My husbands run in with prostate cancer was tough. Good luck and may God assist all those who will care for your Dad.
