OT - Healing Prayers Needed

Mika, I am so sorry. Cancer seems to be on a rampage right now for me, too- my dad, mom, son, my Missy girl. It's horrible. You and your entire family have my prayers. May the scraping get rid of all the cancer and your dear FIL have a long and happy life ahead of him.

Hugs,

Leslie

Oh, Kim, I'm so sorry about this latest hurdle you will all have to attempt. I'll keep the good thoughts coming and my fingers crossed ....

HUGS, prayers and positive thoughts for your FIL are enroute from ME.

Mika, I'm sorry to hear that your FIL is going through this right now - and it adds so much stress to what should be a joyful time of year. Hugs to you and DH - we'll keep all of you in our prayers and pray that the scraping is successful.

Good thoughts and prayers being sent your way for your FIL and DH.

Having lost a dearly beloved in-law, I know how you are feeling. Hugs and prayers on the way.

Mika, my older DSis had bladder cancer that required the removal of her bladder with the resulting ostomy. For those who don't know, an ostomy is a surgical procedure where they remove either the colon (for a colostomy) or the bladder (for a urostomy) -- there might be other sorts of ostomy procedures but I'm not aware of them.. Anyway, this means that the "tube" part of the "innards" (I can't think of the proper term) that deposits waste into either colon or the bladder is routed from the removed organ to the exterior of the body and a bag is attached (Dsis' used an adhesive pad) to the outside of the body for collection of the waste material. People can live a VERY long time after an ostomy procedure assuming that there is no cancer or whatever left in the body. DSis had squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder meaning that her cancer was within the cellular structure of the bladder and there was no tumor or exterior cancer affecting other parts of the body. She didn't even need any chemo or radiation therapy but she did have to live with that bag stuck to her side below the waist for well over ten years and her eventual death had absolutely nothing to do with the cancer. I want you to know that the Babies and I are saying lots of prayers for you and your family but I also wanted you to know about my DSis. She was born with a number of severe handicaps and this was just something else she learned to deal with. It really isn't that big a deal, just a P.I.T.A. to learn to deal with. {{{{Mika & Family}}}} CiaoMeow >^;;^<

I'm so sorry Mika. I hope the procedure goes well and they are able to get everything with minimal surgery and treatment and your FIL has a quick recovery. Take care of yourself too. Hugs,

Prayers and best luck on their way from CNY. amy

Big hugs and prayers for you and your family, Mika. My dad had BC and if caught early, it is very, very treatable. Y'all hang in there and know you're being thought of.

Thanks so much Leslie. I guess we'll just have a mutual passing of prayers between us for our families then. Wow! You really have a lot to deal with and I will keep you and your family in my prayers also.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks Sandy. I really appreciate it. We're just kind of sitting on pins and needles until Thursday to find out what happens.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks so much Judy. I appreciate the prayers and positive thoughts. It means a lot to me.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks so much Louise. It means a lot to me. And yes it's things like this that add to the stress. I immensely dislike this time of year anyway and always dread the period of time from November 1st to about January 4th. There are just so many depressing memories of deaths, custody battles, illnesses and such that have occurred during this period that I dread it. I truly appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts though. Thank you so much.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks so much Bonnie. I truly appreciate your kindness.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks so much Taria. I appreciate the kindness. I'm trying to stay positive and help DH stay positive. Dad is in his 80's and still a pretty spry old goose so hopefully with all the prayers and good thoughts and all, he'll be ok.

Hugs, Mika
