My cancer journey-update

Prayers going your way Dawg

 

Here’s to hoping a transplant comes soon!

 

Father, thank you for the ability to lift up our friend and brother. He needs your healing touch in his spirit and his body. thank you for bringing us together around him to lift him up to you. Let him know he is loved and that You are his Father. In the name of Jesus.

 

Praying for you DawgFan. My cancer journey was a cake walk compared to yours.

 

What a road! You are tough, no doubt! Prayers to you and hope for healing!

I had a friend go through that and he anchored his care in Miami Jackson Memorial because the formula they use would have been a bad result in our town. He would always be number 4 in line or something like that. He got one really quick. Prayers!

 

I'm sorry to hear. Hope the best for you.

 

All the best from a (former) hep c guy.

 

DawgFan, I thought of you a couple weeks ago and wondered how you were doing. Although we hate what you had to write, we thank you for the update. We are all praying and pulling for you.

I would like to pass on to you what Paul wrote to the Colossians:

Colossians 1:9–14 (ESV): And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

God bless you in this heroic fight!

 

God is greater than any problem we will ever have. That statement brings me great comfort. As human beings we can come up with some bodacious problems. But the Lord God, who made the heavens and all the stars and galaxies, loves us all individually. He wants us to come to him with our problems. That’s why faith is so powerful. It comes directly from God. It can and it will heal those who call on the Holy and Heavenly name of the Lord. Amen

 

We all wish you nothing but the best and may you live long and prosper (even for a Dawg)

Have you considered alternative medicines until you receive your transplant to help with pain and weight loss.

 

Hello DFA - Regret to hear your struggle is so severe.
Wishes for relief and recovery.

Hang in there.

 

Praying for you Dawg. May the Lord send you His angels to guide, strengthen and protect you--and God willing...to fix you.

(...and--I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but--props for the succinct and extraordinarily efficient summary. Most similar accounts come in novel length (hard to read) journal style with excruciating detail. fwiw).

Godspeed on your continued journey...

 

Pulling for you Dawg! Best wishes.

 

Still praying four you and your family. Keep up the good fight. Glad the treatment is going well.

 

Get better, bud.

 

Keep in the good fight!

 

Thanks for the update Dawg. Glad to hear about the new treatment, hope it continues to go well. Still in our thoughts and prayers, hang in there.

 

God Bless you, Dawgfan. Your mental strength in all of this has been quite extraordinary. Thanks for touching the lives of so many with your truth. We are not without empathy.

Once again, your strength offers us a glimpse of your personal resolve and invites us to be grateful for what we have in our lives. That also has us pulling even harder for you.

A big Gator hug to a Dawg. May the doctors skill and Gods love align and make miracles happen.

Fight on...we'll be cheering.

Go Gators.

 

A year ago, my cousin’s 75 year old wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that metastasized to her liver. Stage 4 at diagnosis. She went on chemo and a scan in December showed no cancer. A repeat scan in April showed no cancer. Doctors say there is something in her blood (spike protein?) that will trigger recurrence if she goes off chemo. Now down to once a month treatment.

Jim Valvano said to never give up. It will not be a picnic but there are more and more new treatments coming forth each day. I pray that God will give you the strength to preserve, will give your doctors the wisdom to try new treatment plans and will give you healing.
