Healing prayers for TheMom's brother.

In February of this year my older brother went to the hospital due to severe pain and swelling in one leg. Those doctors could not figure out what was causing the pain and swelling, so they sent him home to see his own doctor. His doctor could not figure out the problem either; mean while his other leg started hurting. He was sent to Houston for yet another set of test; still no results. His doctor and the doctors in Houston tried different treatments (medicine) to treat his pain. By this time he has used up his vacation, sick leave and disability time at work so they fired him. Last month he went to another set of doctors, this time in Temple, TX for more test. They determined he had anmemia and hyper or hyposomething (I can’t remember) and asked him to come back this week for results of test and some more testing.
I received a phone call from my sister-in-law yesterday telling me the doctors determined my brother might have Myelofibrosis ~ which if not treated could lead to Leukemia. The ran different blood test and today did a bone marrow biopsy. Those test came back that he has Leukemia. Tomorrow the bone marrow results will determine if the type of Leukemia he has is aggressive or non-aggressive. If non-aggressive, he will receive a week of chemo and have to stay in the hospital for at least one month. My sister-in-law said she went blank before she could hear about what will happen if the Leukemia is aggressive.
Please pray that the Leukemia is non-aggressive and that my brother can be healed with as little as pain as possible.
Thank you! Your words of encouragement are what I really needed to wake up to.
I will keep you and your father in my prayers.

Scott & White?
They do great work, they've brought my dad back from the brink more than once.
Yes, he is at Scott & White. Both Tony & Lynn told me it is a great place ~ for a hospital.
May He hold them both in the palm of His hand.
Prayers for God’s blessings on all.

Healing prayers for TheMom's brother.
Yes, we can be a bit grunchy at times. (I guess that’s what grinches do?)
To those of you I have not thanked yet ~ Thank You for your prayers.
The test results to know which type of Leukemia Tony has will not be back until Monday. The doctors in Temple are going to try to get him into MD Anderson, which would be a blessing for the family because it is a lot closer to everyone.
The doctor also told them that bone marrow transplants may be in future, depending on how it goes with the Chemo.
