My husband is refusing radiation treatment for cancer (he’s only 55). He was advised to start treatment last March. He keeps telling me that he’ll call tomorrow or next week, but he never does. Please pray for him. Please pray for me because I feel abandoned and alone and with no support. My future seems so bleak and uncertain. Thank you!

Therese
 
Praying for your husband, and you too as you struggle with this. May God enfold you in His love for you and lead you through this dark time.
 
Thereseozi,

I am praying for both you and your husband … having just nearly lost my husband two years in a row [nearly died last April and again this April] I think I can share your feelings of fear …

:signofcross: Please Dear Lord - Embrace this couple in your arms. Grant both of them your healing love in both body and spirit. Strengthen Thereseozi in grace and love. Grant her DH the grace to live the life you have planned for him, not to surrender hope and courage but to face their future in union with your plan. Amen …:gopray2:
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
 
Therese, I’ve thought about that, and I think I’d be scared to face either radiation or chemotherapy. Do you think maybe he feels scared about facing it? It sounds a bit as if he’s in denial. You must be frantic!

Jesus, Therese feels abandoned and alone and with no support. Her future seems so bleak and uncertain. Please give her comfort, support, and hope.
Please give her husband the courage to undergo treatment to cure his cancer, and very soon. Please help him overcome his ostrich behaviour to face the need to fight this cancer, for love of his wife, and for appreciation of the gift of life and self. Please bring him to care for his Therese’s future so much that he will do everything he can to return to health and to be with her for many years to come.

Therese, I will continue to pray for this. With love, Trishie
 
Lord I pray for help and strength for this family. GodBless!:signofcross:
 
Mother Mary, you faced so many difficult moments in your life, out of love and obedience. Mother pray to the Holy Spirit to strengthen and bless this family, the way He did with you and Joseph.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen

(God loves you both, holds you both, insist in your prayer with a blind faith. He always listens)
 
(The chaplet of The Divine Mercy is a very powerful and consoling prayer)
 
Lord God of healing and mercy, we lift Rodney, who is fearful, up to You. Grant him the Heavenly gifts of wisdom, knowledge and fortitude, that he may know of Your love for him and of Your divine plan for him. Let him no longer worry at the thought of medical treatment, but rather that he may seek it. Father, Your plan for him is not yet fulfilled. In Your mercy, grant that his heart not be hardened, but rather be made of flesh, so that he may see the effect of his refusal on his wife of these many years. Remind him, O Lord, that they are not two, but one flesh and that his actions affect both of them. Restore in him a sense of humility, that he may assent to that which is best for the two of them. Graciously join our prayers together with those of the Angels and Saints to form an unending petition for mercy upon and healing within Rodney. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
 
Dear Lord, please strengthen this couple to move through this together. Guide their decisions and grant them peace.
 
The hardest thing for us to realize is that “it is not about us” in the minds of the patients…it is all about them.

I will pray that his heart and mind be focused on not just himself, but his family.

Praying. I know exactly how you feel. My husband did the same thing. 😦

Trust God to get you through.

Praying for your intentions:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

God Bless
In Jesus through Mary
