Prayer Request

Signed-In Members Don't See This Ad
You and your entire family are in my prayers. My family and I just went through this with my 40 year old brother-in-law, and three years ago with my 40 year old cousin who contracted the disease when he was 30.

In my humble opinion, no one needs to 'be the rock' so to speak. Your tears, and others seeing them, might be healing rather than hurtful.

I also don't feel you need to apologize to this forum, or to anyone else for that matter. What you are going through is absolutely terrible, and you need to get your support from wherever, whoever and whenever you can.

Many on this site will watch with you, pray with you and "sit" with you through this ordeal. Me included.

Hello Ron!! I lost my mom to cancer a few years ago and I took care of her up until the end.So I have an idea what you are going through.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family in this time of need.

I agree with Philly, don't go away. Let us share with you and talk it out here. Feeling bad cuz you don't have more money won't help and more money won't necessarily help either. I work with CA patients and it doesn't care how rich you are. Be sure that her MD's will do the best that they can for her and your family. Healing energy will be directed toward you and your family by me.
 
I have realized over the last couple of days just how important this forum is to my sanity and well being. I am greatful for the prayers and thoughts. I have been directed to not leave and instead, lean on my friends here.

The next few days are going to be tough to get through, as there is a megaton of stuff going on in my world now, but right now, I gotta get through one day and problem at a time.

I will stick around and lean on my friends here to help me get through this. Again, I really appreciate the prayers, and please keep them up. Shana needs all the help she can get.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ron . I lost my first wife to cancer , she was only 36 . The feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming , don't let yourself get into that funk . Stick around here and talk , we are all here for you .
Have you talked to her doctors about any phase 1 or 2 trials coming down the line ? , if the standard treatments are not working she might be able to get into one of those programs . There are allot of treatments in Europe that are coming here in phase 1 that might give her a little more time or improve the quality of the time she has left .
If you need someone to talk to , don't be afraid to ask , I'm always here for you .
 
Thoughts and prayers are with you Ron. Don't forget about yourself though. Be good to yourself so you can be there for them...
 
Ron, my thoughts and prayers are with your daughter, you and your family and all medical people involved in her treatment and care. I will keep her in my prayers daily - and your entire family as well.
I've got you on my prayer list as well. Vaya con Dios.
 
Ron, I am so sorry to hear this. I do not know how I would handle such a situation as yours. Our prayers are with you and your family.
 
Well Tim, It is the most difficult thing i have ever experienced, and as you could probably see when you met me, I have lived through alot of stuff in my short life. It is a helpless feeling like i have never experienced, and it is sickening. I am a "Do-er". When things go bad, I survive by getting stuff done, and no matter how hard i work, or how much comfort i ptovide, It is so temporary. It makes me furious to know that the best i can offer is some creature comfort. How petty. A 23 year old angel is dying and the best i can do is to provide her with money, and help with the baby.

She has been through so much already. To know that it will only get worse is unreal to me. To know that it will take her is crushing. She is only my step daughter, but i am the only father she has know for over 10 years. When she was in the hospital after being diagnosed, recooperating from brain surgery where they removed a GRAPEFRUIT sized tumor from her 17 year old brain, She asked for her Dad. The nurse came into the crowded waiting room, where we were all waiting. When the nurse said she wanted to see her father, only one person stood up. Her biological father was two seats from me and didn't budge. I was the FIRST person she asked to see. Not her Fiance, Not her mother.... ME. Her dad.


Ok....Ok... Ok... thanks for letting me vent here on this thread. Now i gotta snap back into reality.

On a positive note, I just learned of some cool news for a possible Benefit for Shana that will be a concert in Chicago. There is no way that we can make it to the show but for you Chi-Town pen turners, It might be a fun night of music...

I won't say good music, because the chick that is organizing it and knows all the bands is REALLY REALLY weird. I have no idea what kind of music it might be, and in reality it will probably be something really weird. Emo goth punk industrial or something funky.
 
I am so sorry you and your family are going through this trial. You and your family are in my prayers. I will have my church pray as well. What is your daughters name?
 
Her name is Shana Marie (pronounced Shay-nuh..... Important to my wife that i add that)

and thank you very much. The prayers are appreciated. I am going to let Shana know tomorrow that approx. half of the United States is praying for her specifically!
 
My wifes name is Shanna and a lot of people mess her name up and call her Shay-na so I will not forget that name. She and your family are in our prayers. God bless you and your family during this trying time.
 
Thanks for all the sharing you have done Ron, it keeps me with my feet on the ground and head in the clouds? A very sobering situation. I have had family (daughter) go through a terrible time (She is now in heaven), and still feel the anguish of it all, I understand what you mean when you say that it is hard to watch and not be able to do anything, but as someone else mentioned
just your very presence and tears may be the best medicine around. Still praying for Shana Marie, Amos
 
I just finished praying for your daughter, you, your family and all of those who will be, and are already, being affected in this situation. I prayed for healing, peace and awareness that you are certainly not alone in your journey. The 23rd Psalm states, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow...". The key is "through" not "in". The entire Psalm is to assure us that we will not traverse these trials alone for: "You are with me". Be comforted brother and know for certain that you are in good company.

Ron your family is in our Prayers...If you need someone to talk to just let me know and will send you my cell number...God Bless you
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this. We're going through this with my wife. I went away from here for awhile as we were dealing with everything. I probably should have kept coming here as it is a stress reliever. Lot's of hills and valleys. Just prepare yourself. Keep yourself and your family busy and their minds off of this. A positive attitude helps. You and your wife have to keep your heads up.
 
Ron I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter. I just want to echo what have been said we are your friends . If you ever need to talk we are all here, openly or privately
 
Ron you have my heart felt sympathy, I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers, again if you need to talk Pm me Ill give you my numbers or I can even call you.
 
Ron

My thoughts and prayers of there for you daughter and your family. May God give you the wisdom and strength to get through this. For your Daughter the strength and peace to do the same.
 
Just recently returned from two weeks away... first time back on the forum. Ron, what can I say? Keep looking up, man.
My wife and I will be praying for Shana Marie, you, and your wife, every night. You have my number... call me anytime... and I mean anytime.
My kids in OKC will be praying for y'all also...
We'll be praying for healing, and peace and prosperity for each of you.
Main thing is the main thing. Don't believe people... believe the Word. He is still doing miracles every day.
Keep looking up. Don't give up. Dare to hope.
Al

PS: Hope in the Bible means looking forward to, with great expectations...
