Prayer Request: Wife has Melanoma

N/A | 10/28/2002 | Raybob

About a week and half ago, my wife had a doctors appointment. He found some "questionable moles on her back. They were removed and sent for testing. This morning, we got a call from the doctor. All of the moles tested turned out to be melanoma. She was referred to another doctor and we now must deal with these, plus other moles which may be cancerous. We don't know if its made its way into the lymphatic system. Until we see the doctor and have more test run, all we can do is wait and pray.

[Cicero]

You have my prayers. One of my daughters had some moles with melanoma a few years ago, but so far no recurrence. I had Hodgkins myself, in remission for more than ten years, and was much helped by the prayers of friends.

I hope you won't mind my asking for the intercession of a new saint. Catholics believe that intercession can work, but similar to Protestants they believe that it can ONLY work through God's freely-given grace. Only God has the power, but sometimes He likes to work through His friends.

I pray to Saint Josemaria Escriva, named a saint on October 6, that your wife's cancer remains in remission and does not spread any further. May God help her and you.

My Mom is doing well, thirty-seven years after a similar problem. She's eighty-one. May your wife fare as well.

[CDHart]

May God hold you and your wife and family close to Him and give you strength now, in Jesus' name. Miracles do happen. I was given less than year to live in 1998, and I'm still here.

Prayers for you and your wife. Please know that when caught early, this malady is curable. I have several friends who have beaten melanoma.

Matthew 18:
18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

Lord, through the promise of your unfailing word, those of us posting on this thread claim healing of Lisa's affliction. We do this with boldness in Jesus' name, Amen.

Two of my siblings survived melanoma. One died many years later of a heart attack. The other is alive 25 years after the melanoma was removed.

Best of luck to you and your wife.

Adding my voice to the chorus of prayers for Lisa and for you.

I had a mole removed that proved to be malignant melanoma ..... 28 years ago! Additonal surgery showed that it had not metastisized (sp?) yet so I didn't need further treatments. Since then I have had about 40 other moles removed, a few at a time, but none of the others have been malignant.

May Lisa get such good news also! And may you both know the peace that passes understanding! <><

I'm pulling for you and Lisa... my first wife had melanoma, after beating Kaposi's hemmoragic sarcoma. It's surely nothing to sneeze at, but the treatments are much improved.
