You will have my prayers... It is so nice to see a step-family situation where the love is there.. I am a step mom but love my kids and hope they love me as much as you seem to love your step dad.. I am sure he is a lucky man to have the support you are showing to him in this time of his need.. Remember that Our Lord and Savior is in control and loves you and your family.. Prayer and laughter is the best you can give your Step dad.. when things calm down rent a funny movie and sit down and laugh with him.. God Bless You and Your Family.. :)

Thank you for this question!\nMy mother-in-law (my Pastor) was recently diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. Additionally she had a tumor on her spine and a mass in her colon. The diagnosis was confirmed by two specialists. She was told she had eight weeks to live. Her doctors scheduled surgery to try to remove the colon mass. She asked me to search the web for a few options for her casket, a friend is a gifted carpenter and he was going to build it for her once she chose what she wanted. \nThe church organized a 24-hour prayer chain as we always do when there is a dire need and she checked into the hospital in the large city near our small town. I visited her on the morning of her surgery and we talked about what we've experienced in God over the last thirty years. We cried, we held hands, we laughed, we cried. She was ready and we spent that early morning in the hospital saying our goodbyes. She told us what she wanted to wear. Which dress, which shoes. She told us who she wanted to speak at her funeral. She knew her husband (co-Pastor) wouldn't be able to. She told my wife (her daughter) what songs she wanted her to play and sing. It was horrible.\nThey took her into surgery and my wife and I waited in the visitors lounge. The church at home continued to pray because we've learned over the years that sometimes God's mind can be changed. She had taught us that. \nI have known this woman for thirty years. She is the most remarkable person I have ever encountered.\nFour-and-a-half hours later the oncologist came out and told us it had not gone as anticipated. In the process of trying to locate the colon mass they had torn the colon with the scope. This happened because they couldn't find the mass where they anticipated it to be. They kept looking for it until they accidently tore the colon wall. That led them to open her up to repair that damage. While they repaired the colon they searched for the mass by hand but could not find it.\nThey elected to look at her pancreas while they were there to better gauge the size of the mass. They could not find that one either. Her X-rays were posted for reference nearby and they showed both masses. And yet the doctors physically examined both locations and found nothing. They could not get to the mass on the spine.\nI'll never forget as the doctor began to apologized about the colon mishap. He was noticeably upset. We assured him it was not a problem. We told him the church had been praying around the clock for over a week and he said it was clear to him that she had been miraculously healed. The second doctor came out and could only smile and shake our hands.\nShe was taken to recovery and then to her room where she stayed for a few days. She was visited by every nurse and nearly every doctor in the hospital for those few days. And she was not bashful about what God had done for her. She reminded them that there was proof and they were all aware.\n\nThis is just one example. I have many others I could share but you already believe. And it is so good to see God's work acknowledged in such a public way.\nI don't know what your background is but clearly God does. Please don't forget what you are feeling now. Thank Him often. And consider that He may have something far greater than you realize waiting for you. Here and beyond.\nPlease read Chapter 2 of Acts (New Testament) with your husband and consider what more God may have for you.

What a sad thing. I will certainly pray for them. Oh Sacred Heart of my Dear Jesus, who did agree to suffer most horribly and die for our sins, please look upon this situation with a poor man who was driven to desperation from pain you yourself know all about and apply that one great cry of "Father they know not what they do" to this poor man and his family. Comfort them and bring them the grace they need to be compliant with your Holy will in this and in all things. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

I really hate to here of your father falling ill once again. Let me tell you just last week my father was told that he has cancer of the pancreas.It is a scary time for all involed but most of all the patient. I went to see my father just last year after 24 years, we had some bad issuses between us as well does my sister and brother does with him. I feel better that I went I can honestly say that I have no regrets. You feel how you feel and you can only do what you feel is best towards your dad. Always remember that you tried your very best towards him. May god bless you and your father, put your trust in him and he will lead the way. Good luck.

I would ask him why, after years of faithfully going to church, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks a lot, God.

Get in touch with St Judes Children's Hospital in Tennessee. (stjudes.org ) They treat and research all pediatric cancers REGARDLESS of the family's ability to pay. More important, they never give up hope.\nWill keep him in my prayers.

I have first hand experience in dealing with cancer.  What would be very helpful?  Offer to clean the house, offer to make dinner.  Help the wife so she can focus on her husband.  Also, visit him.  For my mom, I put together a "hospital kit".  I included a washcloth, bar of soap, shampoo, magazines, new pjs' etc... whatever they like.   And once grand-dad is able to, bring your daughter often so he can see her.  That will really cheer him up!

I don't understand how you want people from all over the world to help your father? I really don't think that doctors sit on Yahoo giving out free medical advice, either. Nurses do though. I'll pray for your father. I'm sorry but that is all I can do for him. GOD BLESS YOU AND HIM!

I do have a prayer request...my husband has been having some tests done, and I'm very concerned about the outcome...I pray alot about this, and other things, and for others, as well...and God says there is power in many prayers, so a few more prayers would be great! Thank you.

Yes, my uncle needs prayers. He's old with heart problems, skin problems, and arthritise.  He also is an atheisis (cant spell today, non-god beliver). . . so I pray for his spirituality also.\n\nMy step-grandpa needs prayers too. . . We're praying for his perpertual life with God, and rosary 9 more days. He was killed Christmas day in Union City California while sitting under a bus stop (the enclosed ones) and a drunk driver ran into the unit, the unit fell on my step-grandpa and crushed him.  I think he was 88 and very healthy.  His wife & five childreen survive him, so I guess they'll need prayers for strenght. . . but the Bible says that those who grieve will be comforted.  And lastly with this sorryful incident, we need prayers for the guy who was drunk, hit the bus stop and who fled the scene of the crime . . . he's been caught, and I belive it's his third strike. . . he's out.  What a waste. . .anyways it's only proper to pray for him . . . I'm the only one in the family praying for this guy. . . I'm too scared to mention it to the others, they are holding alot of anger toward him. Anyways, its only right to say this for the idiot... "Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy."

Haven't you heard we already have him.\nhe has been our guest now for the last two weeks.\nWe could not tell you because of all the do gooder's out there who might wanna check up on his health.\nlet us reassure you he is fine and feeling very repentant at the bad things he has done in the past. and he has also denounced his religion in favor of becoming an Atheist.\nJust a few points For the Do gooders Out there.\nTrust me his toe nails and finger nails have been replaced through medical means. Unfortunately his Testicles were lost during an intense electro therapy session we endeavoring to locate them for him as we speak. let me assure those people who are worried for he is well. and will be released soon.

Oh, Kendra! I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I don't know a whole lot about colon cancer, but I will pray for her. :) Also the best thing you can do for her is just to keep praying for her yourself. Also feel free to e-mail me at VMF4Jesus@yahoo.com with updates on how she is doing. God bless you!
