My father w\Pancreatic cancer PLEASE READ

[harleymonk]

Colleen,

Two important points:

1. Seekerz calls to mind what should be the ending of all of our efforts: Thy will be done! We can ask God for anything up to and including miracles. But God knows best - for some (like Jesus in Gethsemane) a painful reality. As pilgrims in an alien world, we may often cry out “Why?” and then remember that Paul reminds us that God’s ways are beyond our comprehension but are, nevertheless, for our good and issue from His love for us.
2. However well intentioned, references to cancer statistics are inappropriate and do not apply. If your father, in fact, has pancreatic cancer, then I can only trust that those involved in his treatment have fully advised him and the family of the gravity of his prognosis. If not, ask your father’s physician for full disclosure or simply Google the disease and you will be brought to any number of competent discussions - that address the disease in a general way.

Finally, albeit easy for me to say, I would urge you to turn to Abba (Daddy) with the hope and faith of that small child who, although she does not understand, KNOWS that Father will grace her with His loving care.

All powerful Father, God of mercy, look kindly on us in our suffering. Ease our burden and make our faith strong that we may always have confidence and trust in your fatherly care.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Monk

Thank you Jesus!!! I went to a Pancan meeting down town Houston and Got to talk to 2 of the Best Dr’s in this field from M D Anderson Pancreatic Cancer Center,well to make a long story short my father is going to a sattlite office in Pasadena well after the first seminar the Doctor that spoke left, I had to use the restroom and ran into him I asked him could I ask him a few questions, I started telling him of my fathers condition with the white platlet count I said to him I was desperate could I give my father blood he told me he wolud check my fathers charts and for me to call him, well yesterday I had to leave a voicemail for him no return call.My fathers visit was today to see if the cancer had spread in his body because of the platlets are to low, well Dr Wolf called dads clinic and told them they think its his spleen(swelling) they are going to tie it off next week.I thank God for putting me at this meeting ,because these doctors at this other clinic hesitated last week to do this procedure.Thank you Jesus ,I BELIEVE!!
