Prayer request

March 1, 2011

I’ve never talked about this here before, but I wanted to take a few minutes to do so, to mostly ask for prayers.

My dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer this past summer. He found out about it after having a seizure that sent him to the hospital, where they found tumors on his brain. He has them on his brain, lungs and adrenal glands.

He’s been going through chemo and radiation and it’s mostly just been a “wait and see” situation. But, this weekend I found out that since his last MRI at the beginning of the year, he has developed three new tumors on his brain. I’m not really sure this means in the scheme of things, but he will be continuing with treatment.

If you pray, please pray for him and our family.

  • Our thoughts are with you. We are going through a similar thing with my mother-in-law. She was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and it continues to come back. It’s such a tough thing to handle, so just know that you are not alone and that people out there are pulling for him.

  • Lauren, I can’t imagine how sad and frightened you and your family must be right now. My mom was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer a few years back, which was mind-numbing for me, but that’s a whole different world than what you and your father are enduring right now.

    I hope the treatments are easing his suffering and that he will continue to be a fierce warrior in his own defense. I wish you much luck and strength of heart in the years ahead.
