My son has been sent home from the hospital today. He has been there since last Thursday with what they thought was appendicitis. However, it was not. Then they thought it was diverticulosis. It was not. Now, they think he may have colon cancer. He is only 30-years-old. Please pray for him. Thank you.
Yeah that’s ridiculous that they are telling him to wait a month. He might have a polyp that is causing his problem. He needs a colonoscopy immediately to rule everything out. Colitis, IBS, so many different disorders of the colon that can cause inflammation. It would be very strange for him to have colon cancer at such a young age, especially with no family history of any colon related problems. My father died of colon cancer at age 52, my grandfather had it when he was in his late 70s(Did not die from it, ended up getting a stroke years later) so for me I have to be extra cautious especially since I do have colon problems but definitely do NOT wait a month for a colonoscopy, get it done the latest sometime next week.
Oh my goodness! You certainly have my prayers.
Prayers lifted.
Man - that’s tough...prayers up.
May Lobbyist’s son be healed aright now in Jesus’ Holy name. Amen.
I’m with you.
Prayers up! *hugs*
Prayers for your son’s health and successful treatment.
Wow. Very young for colon cancer. On the prayer list now. Keep the faith. Herman Cain beat stage four colon cancer. Take heart.
Where is your son..in California? If he is I can recommend some good doctors for him to see..I belong to Kaiser so I know most of them in SoCal..but depends on where he’s at
Prayers for your son.
Praying for him,your family, and his physicians that they will find the correct diagnosis.
My prayers to the Lord Jesus for your son. God bless him and heal him.
Prayers for your son. I have Ulcerative Colitis myself which flares up every couple of years. Praying he gets a clear diagnosis, treatment and full recovery.
He lives just south of SF near Stanford U.
Praying!
Your son is in my prayers... and you are in my prayers too. This must be so difficult - may God watch over all of you.
They need to look at Crohns. This seems to be the age.
Prayers up.
Been there, done that (at 46 yrs. old). Prayers sent. All will be okay. Modern medicine is miraculous.
Praying for your son to get better soon.
