Asking for prayers (Very sad news - dripp's wife has passed away - Update at #366)

[dripp]

Well the thorassic surgeon said he still thinks it is unoperable, but they may know of some other surgical option at the James Cancer Center in Columbus,Ohio so we are going to ask for a 2nd opinion. On the better side, they said they think it will respond to chemo,radiation or a combo and at least shrink it for awhile. Still appreciating all the prayers.

I just want you to consider something: doctors are just like regular people. You can ask two knowledgeable people about a problem and you'll get two different answers. I personally like a doctor who is willing to throw everything at it and get results. Follow that up with a heaping load of prayer. I will continue to pray for you and help you through this with prayer.

So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the best one of these is love. - I Cor 13:13

God is love. - 1 John 4:8

God please show mercy for your wife and may He comfort you and your children.

[dripp]

well, the news isn't good. The cancer has spread to her other lung and surgery if definately not an option. Standard chemo and radiation is the only course, no clinical trials of any type for lung cancer currently offer any hope, they give Donna 15-18 months tops. We arent giving up, but it is harder to put one foot forward today.

[SeaBiscuit]

I'm sure that this time must be so difficult for your wife and yourself and words are so little comfort.. but putting one foot in front of another is what you must keep doing, though very hard, it will keep you from total despair. Please do that for yourself and all concerned, and try to keep in mind that no one knows the future, doctors included, good things can still happen and often do.

Try to lean on God, abandon yourself to His care.. prayer can help in many unforeseen ways..

Dear Lord please keep them in Your Grace and Mercy, comfort them that they know Your peace. God Bless.

We'll always keep your wife, you and your family in our prayers.



prayer bump.

[dripp]

thank you everyone. We are not giving up by any means, she started chemo this week, no sickness from it yet,just not much appetite so she is drinking supplements. One of the side effects seem to be bouts of pain in oddball places, we confirmed this by talking to other chemo patients. WE seem to be at the acceptance stage right now. We would like to wish you all Merry Christmas.

Prayers continue for your wife and you.

Merry Christmas to both of you.
