Prayer Request for my Dad
Posted on 06/24/2008 6:58:29 AM PDT by al_c
Last month, my dad was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer). The tumor was about the size of a golf ball. Last week, he found out that it was the papillary type (10-15% of kidney cancer) and that it had spread a bit into his lungs and a rib. They called them "flakes" so I guess it's not as bad as it could be. But still ... this is not what we were hoping for. Apparently, this type is harder to treat than the more common type (clear cell).
He has begun chemo treatments to clear the lungs and rib. After 4 weeks, M. D. Anderson will take another look and decide what to do next.
Please pray for healing and that he'll put those darn cigarettes away permanently.

You have your dad in the right place for treatment. My SIL went there with a 5% chance of survival. That was 10 years ago!

You have your dad in the right place for treatment. My SIL went there with a 5% chance of survival. That was 10 years ago!He's definitely in good hands there. It's a 6 hour drive for him, but it's worth it.
Another ray of hope ... he has a friend that had this (stage 4, clear cell type) with a soccer ball sized tumor, spread to brain, lungs, spine, ribs. He's now cancer free. A great bit of encouragement for Dad.

Prayers up from the UK. You are a thoughtful son to call the community of saints together for your father. May the Lord bless you both and your family.
