Please pray for my dad.......cancer.......

[willow]

I don't even know what to say

My dad has been having some health problems the last few months but we never wanted to hear the word Cancer, my dad is only 62.

We found out last night that my dad has Lung Cancer and it has spread elsewhere also. He will be having a PET Scan ( I hope that is the right name for the test) anyway it will tell us how bad and how much the Cancer has spread and also what kind of treatment will work best.

We already know the place on his lung is too large for sergury so that is not an option.

I just ask for anyone that feels it in their heart to PLEASE pray for my dad. We are an EXTREMELY close family and this is very HEARTBREAKING for everyone.

I will try to keep this post updated as best that I can, but at times it just seems I can't even type out the words. So, if you do not see a post for a few days PLEASE KNOW that I may be reading the prayers, but I just do not have the right words to say at the time.

I am sure this post does not even make since.

PLEASE KNOW my family will appreciate ALL PRAYERS.

Prayers going up..

[willow]

Willow I am so sorry to hear about your dad!
Prayers for him and for you headed your way for as long as you need them.
Take care and stay strong... As this is the season of miracles my friend. :rose:

Thank you Kitty and Rucky*Ron - I wish I knew what to say to let both of you know how much it means to me to see both of your post.

I do beleive in miracles R*R and that is what we have to pray for because we know it is not just in his lungs. We know it has spread, but the PET Scan will tell us how much, so it will take a miracle.

So, far the only thing he has asked of us is to not discuss the Cancer Christmas Eve when the whole family gets together. He say's he wants everyone to just ENJOY Christmas. So, I pray for God to help us all stay strong and not show our emotions when we are celebrating Christmas together because I know that is going to be so hard, but I know it is what dad wants. I know with Gods help we can do it.

Again, thank both of you from the bottom of my heart.:wub::wub:

[Bad JuJu]

Sweet girl, please know that your dear dad is being prayed for. I could feel your anguish as I read your post. I pray that our Lord give you peace as you rely on Him through this difficult time.
Healing prayers and prayers of strength going up for your dad. God bless you all and hold you all close in His loving arms.

[sofiesmom]

I can't add any inspirational words , but just know that we are praying for your family...there's power in prayer.

[incidentally]

I'm sorry, Willow. I'll be praying for your dad, you and your family.

[5boxersmom]

Praying for your dad.

[cog1]

Prayers for your dad, you and entire family! Miracles do happen! Stay strong and be there for your dad.

[willow]

I want you ALL to know that my heart melts with every post I read. I do believe in the power of prayer and I thank each and every one of you.

This is where I need to keep my thoughts and prayers.

I did not do that yesterday and now I do regret it very much. I read some things about me on a site and I tried to explain and apologize for some of my actions and it did not work. That site NOW, has someone posting using my user name. I know better then to go to a private site and I know where my thoughts should be and that is what is REALLY IMPORTANT in my life.

Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I am like a little girl at Christmas time, I am 45 and I can't wait until Christmas Eve to see my dad.

Of course, after Christmas I will be staying with him at times. He does not need that yet as far as health, but we need to ENJOY family right now as much as we can.

It is sad, but because of the Holidays my dads doctor can not get him in for his PET Scan until January 6th. I feel that is far to long, but dad has a good doctor and I know he tried his best to get him in for the test as soon as he could.

I know each one of you will but please keep dad in your prayers and the family to help us stay strong at least on Christmas Eve. He really wants to just enjoy Christmas this year.

Thanks so much,
willow:wub::wub:

[canUCme?]

Hi sweet one;
I will say prayers for you and your Dad...I feel positive about the precious holiday you'll share.
Love to you and yours during this most wonderous of holidays,

Hi Willow,

I will say prayers for your dad and your family tonight.

So sorry to hear about your Dad, but never give up you know, my Mum was diagnosed with advanced Breast cancer 2 years ago and it was inoperable because it was too big and was found to be in some lymph glands too, but after chemo, the 'massive' and they were huge (cos we sneakily read the medical records) shrunk so small that they were able to operate and the operation was successful and the chemo had gotten rid of the other cells. There is always hope and they have advanced so much these days, that wonders can and do happen.

Keep strong for your Dad and look after yourself too.

Nic x

[debbadoo]

Willow, my heart goes out to you. I would be a mess....please, enjoy your Christmas and try to enjoy the day with your dad. Miracles happen every day and I will pray that your dad will get one! I will pray hard for your dad....and send (((HUGS))) to you. :rose:

[willow]

I have read EVERYONE'S post and I have to say that tears are streaming as I read what everyone had to say.

We have NOT had our Christmas YET, things are NOT good.

Well, I have had with my kids and grandkids, but not the FAMILY Christmas I should say.

I have been trying to spend as much time with my dad as I can. I do NOT know why it took the doctors so long to find this Cancer.

I talk to dad several times a day - if I am not with him.

Yesterday we got snowed in and he took a change for the worse.

He had a doctors appointment today at - and I had one also ( for something NOT as serious) ANYWAY, I got a call from my mom on my cell phone - DAD IS IN THE HOSPITAL.

My parents are divorced - but, God has blessed me where the last 10 years or so - my parents and step parents get along great. WE even all celebrate Christmas together.

Anyway, mom said she got a call - he is admitted in the hospital - he has taken a turn for the worse.

My dad is only 65 and we are SO CLOSE - PLEASE PLEASE - I am BEGGING for anyone that believes in prayers to pray for my dad. TELL everyone you know to pray, add to church list, anything that can be done I would SO MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

I know dad is in Gods hands - but, I also believe in the power of prayer.

I am headed to the hospital right now - I will either be staying at the hospital or my mothers who lives a lot closer to the hospital then I do for as long as my dad is in the hospital.

So, far I have stayed strong in front of him, but I will not lie - when I am not with him I am falling apart - so, please I need prayers along with my brother/sister and the rest of my family to stay strong.

My dad is a manly guy, but for some reason it always did hurt him to see us girls cry.

I THANK GOD - that he has given my the strength I have when I am with my dad. So, far I have only broken down once in front of him and it broke my dads heart. So, please keep praying for my and my family to stay strong also.

I appreciate the encouraging words on this post and the prayers.

I am sure this post is SO hard to read - but, I had to write it fast so I can hurry and get to my dad.

I felt in my heart that I NEEDED to take time and write this post because my dad needs it.

Everyone that has posted, you have touched my heart more then you can even know - THANK YOU!

I don't have time to request prayers at too many places so please - tell everyone that believes in God and prayers for me - PLEASE - I would really appreciate that also.

I will try to update when I can.

Thanks everyone for your post,
willow/Lisa

[Destini]

Please know that I have said a prayer for your father, you, your family, the doctors & the nurses. I can sense the pain in your posting. I do care. Please try to stay strong and take care of yourself, too.

[Nic99]

Your Dad, you and your family are in my prayers Willow. Thinking of you all.

Nic

[Pretty Leaf]

Willow

I shall pray that you and your family stay strong and united. Your father seems like he is a great dad and although you want to show being strong when with him allow yourself to show your emotions. It is OK to do whatever your body and emotions need to do. He knows that you are hurting. If you can ask for a hug, physical contact can help, believe me I know.

:rose:

PL

[debbadoo]

Oh, Willow....I will continue my prayers for your dad. And, your post was not hard to read....you did just fine. :)

[febreze]

for comfort with Gods help for your family and your Dad

[2Hope4]

(((((((Lisa))))))))

Prayers for your Dad, and the rest of your family that are dealing with his illness. Please try to get your rest, and take care of yourself as well. You'll need to be physically well to be able to help your Dad. So many of us think of ourself last when it comes to dealing with a sick family member.

[DebinNv]

Praying for a miracle for you dad, and praying for strength for you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers daily.

[Debb]

This is such a heartbreaking story. I will certainly pray for your dad, you and your family. I know prayer can really help as is has really helped me before when things were so dark.

God bless your family.

[Mamie]

You poor baby, willow------my heart goes out to you and your family. There is nothing like a dad and I'm sure yours is no exception. My prayers to all of you, dear.

[incidentally]

Willow,

I'm praying for all of you.

tally

[HansieDZ]

Adding my prayers with the others:
May the Lord be with you and your dad.

[willow]

I have read everyone's post and I thank each and everyone of you and all of you have touched my heart.

I will do an update when I can - I just don't have the words or the energy to write one at this time. I can say it is NOT GOOD.

I pray for God to heal my dad and if it is not in Gods will to heal him, to PLEASE give me just a little more time with my dad. I am not ready to lose my dad - I don't know how to lose him.

Once the Cancer really took hold - it has went FAST.

I am sorry, I should not have wrote when I was so emotional. I will try my best to to an update in the next day or two.

I can tell everyone - we found out it is stage 4 and it has Mastized (sp). It is in his lungs, bones, etc.

Thanks to God and prayers, I have seemed to hold myself together most of the time when I am with him. When I am NOT with him, that is when I have the hardest time and I don't know why.

Again, I am sorry and I will try to do a better update when I can calm down again.

I also have a family member ( by marriage) that needs your prayers. He is only 8 years old and he has taken a turn for the worse around the same time we found out about my dad.

I don't know why things hit all at once sometimes.

Please just keep praying for both of them.

I won't write again until I can hold it together a little better - I am sorry. Night time is SO HARD - sleep is hard to find.

[pixiejoolz]

Willow, sending strength and hope for you and your dad and the little one. My thoughts are with you and yours during this tough time. :rose:

[incidentally]

Hi, Wilow.

Prayers still be lifted for all of you.

I'm sorry about the little guy. I'll be praying for him as well.

[Nic99]

Dear Willow,

You are showing such strength and are there for your Dad; but I can really feel your pain. My prayers for your continued strength, for your dear Dad and for the little one who is not well.

We are all there with you and praying for you and your family.

Nic

[2Hope4]

Oh Willow, HUGGLES!!! I can hear the pain, the uncertainty, and the pleading in your posts. Oh I'm so sorry dear. Please cherish each moment you have, try to form some fond positive memories, and if you have a tape recorder, try to record some of your father's stories, memories, etc. Later on you'll appreciate being able to hear his voice.

My thoughts, and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. Also with your cousin, and his family.

[debbadoo]

Willow, continued prayers for your dad and the little man.......and strength for you.

[willow]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their prayers and PLEASE keep them going. My dad really needs all the prayers he can get at this time. If anyone is on a prayer chain/list - please feel free to add my dad.

He has completed his radiation- I give credit to God for that, because there was a time that I ( and everyone else) did not think he would be able to do it.

He is still not strong enough for Chemo - so PLEASE continue to pray because he really needs Chemo, but until he is stronger they just can't give it.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support - I appreciate them very much.

[summit]

I am so sorry about Your Dad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

[debbadoo]

Your dad has my continued prayers.....how is the little boy doing? (((HUGS)))

[Dovey]

willow my prayers are with you and your family.
Everyone reacts differently with cancer, some do better than others.
My little brother has unoperable brain cancer and I'm happy to say after 6 years he is still with us. It's been a very long 6 years, sitting in his truck during his work break getting a IV drip to keep his federal job. This past year his cancer has spread so my bro had to retire as he just couldn't do his job which was reasigned to him as a government employee.

The best part is after 6 years he is still here for his family, his children, his grandchildren etc.

HOPE hope hope, pray, and pray, support, love and prayers are the keys to recovery and or remissions.

My little bro isn't in remission but he is holding his own and that's all we can hope and pray for.
He is just a few years younger than your dad.

All I can offer is the same, hope, prayer's and the will for those who want to live.

[IaNsSyAlNuE]

Oh so sorry to hear, know that you have one more prayer here.

:rose:

[Mamie]

Sending prayers to your dad, willow, so that he can regain the strength he needs to get that chemo going. Prayers also to you and the rest of your family----you all need to be strong for one another AND so your dad can feel that strength come from all of you when you sit with him.

:rose::rose: For Willow and her Dad

[SaraSidle]

Willow my thoughts and prayers are with your family. 62 is too young.
sara:smile:

[LisaM22]

sending good thoughts and prayers your way... :rose:

[jessie]

My thoughts and my prayers are being sent to you, your family. Just remember that God is always on your side.

[AngelWings]

Oh willow..I just saw this thread...prayers for Dad and your entire family my friend....:rose:

[sofiesmom]

I just saw this thread, too Willow. I'm lifting a prayer right now , and we all will tonight.

[Dovey]

I was checking back for an update and I hope your dad is doing better,

I am sending my prayers for your Dad, to you and all your family.

I wear 2 cancer bracelets for a cancer cure. I make and sell them for donations to the American Cancer Society.
One I wear is for my younger brother who has brain and prostate cancer and the other is for several family members with breast cancer.

I have many family members with cancer and many who have passed away from cancer. The first was in 1924 per their death record.

I walk for cancer every year with all my family members. I hope you will join in the walk for cancer wherever you live.

[willow]

I would like to apologize to everyone for not being very good with updates. It is just very hard for me to talk about.

I also need to correct his age because the first post I was in a hurry and I did not catch it, but I wrote 62 and I know my dad is 65. I know, not much of a difference, but I did feel I should correct it ( a poster pointed that out behind the scenes in NOT a nice way). Anyway, on to the IMPORTANT stuff.

Even though I am not good at updates I do read this thread and tears run down my face each time. I appreciate everyones post more then words can say.

My world and my family's world has been turned upside down. I love my dad more then I could ever explain, but I am sure most if not all know how special those dads are.

I try to spend all the time I can with my dad. Every moment I have with him is so special.

Ok, here it goes - the good and the bad.

I truly feel like prayers are working - SO PLEASE KEEP PRAYING.

It was not easy for my dad, but my dad did finish his radiation. I thank God for that.

Even though he did finish his radiation one of the tumors in his lungs doubled in size and the other one did get larger. ( but, without the radiation and prayer - who knows - it could have been worse) but, we were so hoping it would SHRINK the Tumors.

His Tumor in his bones we don't know about yet. Long story ( but a little upset with dr. over this)

Good news, my dad has gained 9 lbs and has gotten stronger. So, the radiation helped somehow. Most importantly though is God and prayers and I will always give God the credit and God for giving the doctor's, nurses, etc. the knowledge, etc.

He was suppose to start Chemo last Friday and the Dr's nurse made a mistake and scheduled at the WRONG BUILDING - I am FURIOUS, my dad was looking forward and scared at the same time and then went to his appointment ( over an hours drive) to watch a video and to be sent home.

He is suppose to start Chemo this Tuesday, but dad will have to have Chemo at the hospital outpatient. I do not know why he did not find out until Friday. Then they say ONLY if a bed is open???? Something does't sound right and his doctor is suppose to be excellent for our area, but honestly I am getting concerned.

The good and bad news together is dad got a Hoover round ( is that the right name?) It is the chairs you see on TV that Medicare Pa's for and he is getting around great with his new chair. It is such a mixed feeling, because he wants to walk SO BAD, but he is very HAPPY to be able to get around in his chair.

There was a time for awhile though, that dad could not even get out of bed very well SO God is helping there also.

Dad can never be cured - unless God heals him. I just pray the doctors are wrong and we have more time with my dad then they are saying. I know my dad is having a very hard time, but he is trying so hard to make the best of it. For example, his chair he goes outside on the warm days - I wish SPRING WOULD HURRY because we are still having some cold days and my dad has always enjoyed the outside.

Wow, I need to start doing updates more often and them maybe they will not be so long and confusing. It is just so hard to even wright about that I know I ramble so I am sorry for that.

On December 23, 2009 we were told 3 months without treatment and 9 months with Radiation and Chemo. Two weeks ago, the doctor said 3 months without Chemo - 6 to 9 months with Chemo.

We are still praying for a Miracle!

I will say I thank God for at least helping dad get to where he is today. He is much better then in January - well, as far as getting around,etc.

Oh, EXCELLENT NEWS - His brain scan turned out good - No problems there yet.

Even though I do not know why this had to happen to such a good man and not just because he is my dad but, I honestly do not understand WHY, but at the same time I have to be thankful for every moment I spend with him and each day God gives us with our dad.

I am a little embarrassed, but I need prayers also. I feel like I am falling apart. I try to keep my mind busy when I am not around dad, but he is always there. I just don't know how to be happy anymore.

( I will probably be sorry I wrote the paragraph above) some would be shocked how cruel two people are on this board.

Anyway, to my son-in-laws nephew - HE is doing better, but still not as good as the family is hoping so PLEASE keep him in your prayers also. I do NOT know how his mom and dad are getting through day to day. I know how I feel and that being there child - I can't even imagine.

The good news - He was given 9 months at age 6 and he had his TH birthday THIS MONTH - He is on in 22nd month - So, God is helping him also. Children really grab my heart and it is HEARTBREAKING.

Well, I wrote a Novel again AND please forgive all my mistakes in this post. It takes all I can do to write it out.

OH, and the best news of all ( this may upset some and I do not mean to offend anyone) but, my dad was SAVED. He has excepted God into his life. THAT IS GREAT NEWS!

[summit]

You and Your Dad are in my thoughts and prayers. Glad Your Dad has gained some weight and has His scooter.

Thanks for updating us Willow as I had PM'd you asking how your dad was doing.
I'm still praying for your dad and you and all your family.

Dr's don't know everything. Your dad knows how he feels and I believe he is doing everything right.

My little brother (he's now 57) was diagnosed with stage 4 unoperable brain/sinus cancer and guess what? He's still here with us 6 years later. He went to Yale CT hospitals, Boston Hospitals and not one could help him. It was the local hospital who treated him with radiation.

It's all in God's hand and all our prayers.
Hopefully someday there will be a cure for cancer.

Praying for ya all.

Willow....first about the HATERS....ignoring is sometimes a beautiful thing and to the haters.....if you are reading.... and you know who you are....SHAME ON YOU for beating a person when she is down! I hope it makes you feel special.....karma is a real BEEOTCH.

NOW....Willow, VERY glad your dad is gaining some weight. Bad news about the tumours not shrinking, but still PRAYING that they will miraculously disappear and he will be 100% again....miracles DO happen. Also, very glad that your SIL's nephew seems to be doing OK. It makes me heart ache to hear of children being SO sick.....they are just so innocent.....

Prayers will be continued for your dad and your SIL's nephew....(((HUGS))) for you....sure seems like you could use some.
