Prayer Request for Austin - age 15 (sad update at #3290)

Posted on 11/19/2006 9:04:04 PM PST by PhatHead

More than two years ago, I asked for your prayers for my son, who was undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor. His treatment at the time, though physically brutal, was successful. However, Austin's cancer has returned, and he will be going back into radiation and chemo soon - he had surgery last week.

This is so hard - he pretty much missed Middle School with this, and now here goes High School. Pray for him to enjoy college...

We will very much appreciate all of your prayers. Thanks you.

Pax Christi.

It is truly overwhelming, and we are very grateful. I only wish there were more updates to post, but the truth is, most days, most weeks, it is just drudgery and perseverance.

Hooray Austin! Drudge on and persevere. It's a beautiful thaaang!

May the Lord grant Austin, his parents and family Peace. May the Angels continue to envelope Austin, may his medical team proceed with Hope that all will be conquered and he will return to good health.
Peace of the Lord be with you all.

God hears our prayers. I can testify to that. My 70 year old mother has been battling cancer since summer of '05. It was quite a sudden scare. Surgery in just a few days after diagnosis. It may encourage you that the chemo was rough but she made it through and is doing very well. We prayed so hard.

I will pray for you and your son, asking God if will make a difference and that the Great Physician will grant healing and send his Holy Spirit to bring peace to you all.

I don't want to write a book, but we got into herbal stuff somewhat and I feel like it helped her. She pushed herself physically a little bit (when possible) during chemo, and I think that helped her get back on her feet faster. A relative who is an RN with a Masters degree tried to tell me she would 'never' regain her strength.... but she did because God blessed and because she persisted.

I just pray all goes well for you all. Keep fighting. You might tell your son as I told my mom, "All those people like Lance Armstrong who beat cancer had one thing in common." She said "What" I replied "They wanted to." Keep fighting the good fight.

May God Bless

I wanted to let you know that if you want to ping people to a specific post click on the post #
Then go up to your address bar and copy what you see there.

Then paste it into a message and it should turn into a link

For example, this is the link to post # 1911 of this thread.
You can even see the post # at the end of the "address"...
