Sorry Mod, put this in the proper location
My dear old Dad is going in for Round 3 against the Melonoma Mauler. Round 1 took a chunk of his calf out and Round 2 took out a piece of thigh. The Mauler seems to want to go for the pin in Round 3, as it appears to have spread to his lung. The docs took out a liter of fluid this afternoon an performed a CATscan. This is according to my Mom, an RN who may, or may may not, be telling me the whole story. My Mom and Dad deserve more time together. They did all the right things in raising a responsible set of four sons and doing all they could for their community. Please say a prayer for my Father and my Mother. Thanks all. Easter this weekend with all but my bro in Washington is going to be a tough weekend. Thanks again.
Prayers up!

God bless you all!!!
Prayers offered, newbie. I feel a special kinship with your mom, as dear husband and I are in nearly the same situation.
Our kids have helped out immeasurably, with the practical stuff, like mowing the lawn, planting the bulbs we bought earlier (before knowing how sick Hub is), babysitting the house when we are at the hospital and workmen come, raking the mulch on, changing light bulbs, making sure the trash is set out, the whole nine yards. Stuff Hub used to do.
Prayers on the way!
You and your family will be in our prayers. This is a tough valley you all are walking through now - keep your eyes on the distant hills and your faith.
Take good care of Mom.
Prayers for your father and for all of your family.
Prayers for your father and your whole family.

I have prayed.
I'm so sorry for your husband's illness. Thankfully your children are present to help both of you. So many parents have children living in different parts of the country. They are not on hand to ease the burden.
I can only hope that God chooses to heal your husband, newbie's Dad, and all the other people who have serious illnesses.
Grant wisdom and guidance to the medical teams ... send each manner of treatment on its course to render totally harmless all traces of disease. As much as man has been gifted with knowledge, You, alone, are the Great Physician, and it is by You, and You, alone, that life begins and ends.
“In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:10.
Merciful Father, we seek Your blessings of goodness and mercy and faith and encouragement and comfort upon these families, to the everlasting Glory and Honor of Your Name.
Hear our prayer, O Lord ...
