So many times I have come to the people in this community for prayer requests. I only continue to do so because your prayers have worked. I have even been made fun of in the MSN chatroom because of asking for prayer requests......so I am always afraid......but I don't care......you find out who the real friends are I guess......or the ones that have compassion......
I received email on an update on my brother in law. 4 yrs ago last month he had kidney cancer, 3 months after my girls's dad........his brother........This is a man that I have admired his love for his family, for life, for nature, for his wife. He retired in MO, has a place in Seattle where his daughter lives and a place in Alaska. A few weeks ago they found out by exam that he has recurrent cancer to his lung, adrenal gland and leg to bone......they did operation to put a pin in his leg .......we had hopes.....
Today I see update and was afraid to open it.....Thank goodness that I was talking to knight.......I went to pieces and after talking with him.......I am better........
The news is not good........it has went to his brain. As my sister in law said......after much discussion, crying and a few bad jokes........they are coping......He had two options......1......to just do nothing and let him go peacefully and only have about a month........2......to start some radiation therapy to the more aggressive cancer in the brain and leg........He started the radiation on last Monday and will end October 11th. They will then know more what to proceed.....this is only to help ensure a better quality of life. He is not ready to give in and wants to fight.
I am the one that is always strong for everyone but, I get tired and I need prayers to know what to do and say. My youngest daughter is taking this hard and my oldest handles things differently with a more tough exterior. But with their dad having the cancer 4 yrs ago also......they are concerned. He has chest x-rays and scans every 3 months and now every 6.......his last check up they saw some clouding around his bladder and did cystoscopy in the office and said things were fine. With this news of his brother.......We are concerned......
I will have to show him the email Tuesday and I am not looking foward to doing this......
So prayers all the way around would be greatly appreciated.....for those of you who responded to the message on yahoo........ty so much........and you know who you are.........I am going to pray for the quality of life that Arlan is hoping to have.........and for his family.
I thank each of you in advance of reading this........there doesn't have to be any words........just a prayer.....May God give you the peace that surpasses all understanding........love ya'll...........Kay
